Applied mathematics curriculum for secondary schools of Iran

Reform occurred in the educational system of Iran in which two important factors, social changes and world-wide activities in education, were influential. As a result of this reform, there were changes in curricula especially in mathematics and science. Two Committees were formed to work on the 3-year guidance course (G) and secondary 2-year courses (HI and H2). Their reports recommended applications of mathematics, but in practice these were not followed. This thesis makes detailed suggestions for practical implimentation. To do this, we first discuss the general need for reform by first surveying the history of Iranian mathematics education since the appearance of Islam. Then we look critically at the 1967 proposals and make detailed suggestions about changing the content to a more 'applicable' kind of mathematics. We also give many specific examples of the type of mathematics we have In mind. Finally we discuss the reforms in teacher training that would be necessary before our proposed curriculum could he implemented. Various appendices include relevant ;on,cc, material, with translations into English.

Abstract

Reform occurred in the educational system of Iran in which two important factors, social changes and world-wide activities in education, were influential. As a result of this reform, there were changes in curricula especially in mathematics and science. Two Committees were formed to work on the 3-year guidance course (G) and secondary 2-year courses (HI and H2). Their reports recommended applications of mathematics, but in practice these were not followed. This thesis makes detailed suggestions for practical implimentation. To do this, we first discuss the general need for reform by first surveying the history of Iranian mathematics education since the appearance of Islam. Then we look critically at the 1967 proposals and make detailed suggestions about changing the content to a more 'applicable' kind of mathematics. We also give many specific examples of the type of mathematics we have In mind. Finally we discuss the reforms in teacher training that would be necessary before our proposed curriculum could he implemented. Various appendices include relevant ;on,cc, material, with translations into English.
