Some
problems with math teaching in school
- Most
children have a fear of math and a sense of failure. So they give up early and
give up math education.
- The
math curriculum is frustrating for both the less talented students in giving
them the challenges they need and the more students not participating in the
study.
- Example,
rehearsals and evaluation methods are all mechanical and repetitive with a
strong emphasis on calculation fields of mathematics, such as spatial thinking,
have not been developed in the curriculum.
- Teacher
lack confidence, preparation and co-operation.
This leads us to an important question, what is the main goal of math
education at school level? Do we just want to develop numerical skills in
students that can make them employable or do we went to make them individuals
who contribute to the social and economic development of society in the long
run? Mathematics education at school level is of utmost importance for this
concern of developing thoughtful persons in the society.
