5 results in ICMI Studies

School Mathematics in the 1990s
  • Edited by Geoffrey Howson, Bryan Wilson
  • Published online:
    26 April 2011
    Print publication:
    08 January 1987
  • This 1987 study seeks to identify key issues and basic questions within mathematics education, to propose and comment upon alternative strategies, and to provide a stimulus for more detailed, less general discussions, within more limited geographical and social contexts. The text is based upon an international symposium held in Kuwait in February, 1986 and attended by selected mathematics educators drawn from all parts of the world.

Mathematics as a Service Subject
  • Edited by A. G. Howson, J. P. Kahane, P. Lauginie, E. de Turckheim
  • Published online:
    26 April 2011

    27 May 1988
  • Based on the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction conference held in early 1987, this volume consists of a number of key papers presented by international authorities on the role of mathematics in applied subjects, such as engineering, computer science, and mathematical modelling. The importance of certain mathematical ideas, such as geometry and discrete mathematics is stressed, as well as the more classical methods. The book includes a long article by the editor synthesising some of the main themes and trends debated at the conference.

The Influence of Computers and Informatics on Mathematics and its Teaching
  • Proceedings From a Symposium Held in Strasbourg, France in March 1985 and Sponsored by the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction
  • Edited by R. F. Churchhouse, B. Cornu, A. G. Howson, J.-P. Kahane, J. H. van Lint, F. Pluvinage, A. Ralston, M. Yamaguti

  • First published in 1986, the first ICMI study is concerned with the influence of computers and computer science on mathematics and its teaching in the last years of school and at tertiary level. In particular, it explores the way the computer has influenced mathematics itself and the way in which mathematicians work, likely influences on the curriculum of high-school and undergraduate students, and the way in which the computer can be used to improve mathematics teaching and learning. The book comprises a report of the meeting held in Strasbourg in March 1985, plus several papers contributed to that meeting.

The Popularization of Mathematics
  • Edited by A. G. Howson, J. -P. Kahane
  • Published online:
    26 April 2011
    Print publication:
    22 November 1990
  • This book presents the papers arising from the ICMI study seminar on the popularization of mathematics held at the University of Leeds, UK, 17–22 September 1989. The event was organized in conjunction with a highly successful touring exhibition known as the 'Pop Maths Roadshow'. Inspired by the discussion document prepared by Howson, Kahane and Pollak, the symposium consisted of three plenary sessions discussing the problems faced in the popularization through particular media. Members were present from a variety of backgrounds and discussion groups were devoted to specific themes, such as the image of mathematicians, TV and films, and mathematics in different cultures.

Mathematics and Cognition
  • A Research Synthesis by the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education
  • Edited by Pearla Nesher, Jeremy Kilpatrick
  • Published online:
    26 April 2011
    Print publication:
    23 February 1990
  • This book, which was first published in 1990, is aimed at teachers, mathematics educators and general readers who are interested in mathematics education from a psychological point of view. The book describes research findings that shed light on the learning of mathematics from early arithmetic to high levels of algebra and geometry. The book is the collaborative effort of a number of members of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education and primarily describes their work whilst at the same time covering many issues that interest researchers in mathematics education.
