  • PROMOTING MATHEMATICAL THINKING in FINNISH MATHEMATICS EDUCATION Heidi Krzywacki, Leila Pehkonen & Anu Laine University of Helsinki
    1 PROMOTING MATHEMATICAL THINKING IN FINNISH MATHEMATICS EDUCATION Heidi Krzywacki, Leila Pehkonen & Anu Laine University of Helsinki Abstract In this article, we outline some of the main characteristics of the mathematics education in the Finnish educational context. In Finland, at both primary and secondary school levels teachers are educated to be autonomous and reflective academic experts. This policy means there is a strong emphasis on teachers’ independence and autonomous responsibility and it also has many consequences for teaching mathematics. We start by discussing the main features of Finnish mathematics education through the outline stated in the National Core Curriculum and reflecting on the features of teacher education, which prepares academic, pedagogically thinking teachers for school work. In Finland, mathematics education is highly dependent on teachers and their understanding of teaching and learning mathematics. Secondly, we elaborate the practical and environmental aspects influencing schooling and the way mathematics is taught in Finnish comprehensive schools. The central aspects characterising Finnish mathematics education, such as the distribution of lesson hours, the availability of pedagogically well-structured learning materials and the principles of school assessment, are discussed. To conclude, Finnish teachers responsible for teaching mathematics play a significant role in maintaining and developing the quality of school mathematics education. Keywords: mathematics education, comprehensive school, curriculum, teacher education 1 Introduction In Finland, basic education in mathematics is carried out by primary school teachers, responsible for the first six years of schooling, i.e., grades 1-6 when pupils are 7 to 12 years old, and by specialised subject teachers, who teach mathematics at secondary school level in grades 7-9 when pupils are 13 to 16 years old.

    5. Education・ Vocational Training Preliminary Study for Iraq Reconstruction Projects in Hashemite Kingdome of Jordan Final Report 5 Education and Vocational Training 5.1 Outline of Education and Vocational Training in Iraq The population in Iraq is estimated at 2.6 million with annual population growth rate of approximately 2.8%. The education system in Iraq showed high performance rate until the early 1980s and it achieved nearly universal primary enrollment in 1980. Thereafter, for more than two decades, the enrollment rate went into a steady decline and the attendance went down at an alarming rate. Out of nearly 15,000 existing school buildings, 80% now require significant restoration. More than 1,000 schools need to be demolished and completely reconstructed. Another 4,600 require major repair based on information from the Ministry of Education.

  • On Educating the Whole Person, Or Learning to Be a Knower1
    DOCUMENTOS CORE CURRICULUM ON EDUCATING THE WHOLE PERSON, 1 OR LEARNING TO BE A KNOWER J. Scott Lee2 ABSTRACT: This paper addresses the question whether liberal arts education and the humanities can currently be used to build university reputations. Laudatory in its connotations, the phrase, “Educating the Whole Person,” is widely used in heterogeneous liberal education programs to describe the purpose or function of these programs. Would the history of liberal education be useful to sort out the current meanings of the phrase, and can the phrase be used to raise the stature of educational institutions? The paper finds that in undergraduate education, learning to be a knower across disciplines is closely identified with an education of the whole person through the liberal arts. Yet, developed parallel to the historical inquiry of the phrase’s meaning is a steady erosion of the liberal arts structuring education, as disciplines subordinate or replace those arts with their own specialized concerns. Ultimately, this subordination has meant that the humanities have turned inward, away from public, cultural involvement that historically characterized the liberal arts. Instead, the humanities might re-focus upon the liberal arts, which have historically addressed both the arts and sciences, as a public expression of what it is to be a knower and, thus, help to build university reputations through educating the whole person. KEYWORDS: Liberal Education, Liberal Arts Education, Whole Person, Trivium, Quadrivium, Humanities 1 This article is based in the lecture delivered by the author on March 30, 2017 in the International Conference BUR (Building Universities’ Reputation), at the University of Navarra.

  • Education in Scotland
    EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND Education in Scotland is markedly different from that in the rest of the United Kingdom - with a different curriculum, school boards to oversee school management and a General Teaching Council which has been in existence since 1965. Whilst there are many examples of successful and innovative practice in Scotland, the system is quite often not recognised as different by writers who talk about the United Kingdom education system as if it were one smooth whole. This book describes recent developments in both legislation and practice in Scotland, drawing comparisons with the English system. Chapters cover adminis­ tration and management, early years education provision, the curriculum in Scotland, secondary education and special educa - tional needs. Margaret Clark is Emeritus Professor of Education at the Uni­ versity of Birmingham. Pamela Munn is Professor of Curriculum Research at Moray House Institute of Education, Edinburgh.

  • 201705026 Detao Educational Model
    A New Educational Model to Foster Innovation in China: The DeTao Masters’ Academy (DTMA) Stamenka Uvalić-Trumbić and Sir John Daniel The Context In March 2017 University World News1 reported that China was stepping up its drive to lure overseas talent in its bid to become an innovation economy. This latest effort is focused both on reversing brain-drain by bringing Chinese scholars from the diaspora back to China and also on retaining foreign students to work in China after getting their degrees. Whether because of this drive or for other reasons, the proportion of students returning to China from study in the US has increased from 72% in 2012 to 82% in 2016. A similar aspiration to attract talent to China and boost innovation led to the establishment of the DeTao Masters’ Academy – DTMA - in 2010. Its emergence should also be seen within the broader context of trends in Chinese higher education and theories of innovation in the first decade of the 21st century. Four are noteworthy. First, DTMA was founded by the Beijing Higher Education Zone Development as a spin-off from the construction of the Beijing Shahe University Town. University Towns were appearing throughout China, partly in response to the massification of enrolments through which China became the world’s biggest higher education system in the 2000s. Hundreds of university towns were developed in both urban and rural areas as part of a government policy of urbanization.2 Second, the DTMA initiative reflected another government policy, the Chinese National Outline of Education
