The complexity of an educational material is proportional to time (or quantity of words), which is necessary for an explanation of this material to the schoolchild with the given level of knowledge. For the estimation of the complexity of some issues of the mathematics school course the method of decomposition of operations on elementary actions, the pair comparisons method were used, and the content-analysis of some paragraphs of textbook was carried out.Thus it was taken into account: the information volumes of the paragraph; the quantities of mathematical symbols in the formulas; the quantities of the new terms which are not included in given level of knowledge; the information volumes of their defi nitions.As a result of the estimation of the didactic complexity of the 27 paragraphs of the school mathematics course we established: during training at school the complexity of issues on mathematics grows approximately in 150-200 times.

This study aims to analyse the advance organizers included in the course book “Secondary School Mathematics Course Book 5”—which was prepared in accordance with 2017 secondary school mathematics curriculum and which was accepted as an educational material by Turkish Education Board of Ministry of National Education for use in 2017-2018 academic year—in terms of use, functions and forms. Employing qualitative research method, this study uses document analysis. Content analysis is used in the analysis of the research data. It was found in consequence that comparative advance organizers comparing the previous and new knowledge were heavily used in the course book.

Heritage Interpretation

AbstractHolistic interpretation of Earth heritage is one of the most important tasks of UNESCO Global geoparks. The ABC (abiotic, biotic, and cultural interconnections) concept is a potential interpretive approach used in Earth heritage popularization through geotourism. Apart of the deeper understanding of this concept, this study explores the application of this concept in selected geoparks. The Colca and Volcanoes Andagua UNESCO Global Geopark (Peru) and Muroto UNESCO Global Geopark (Japan) served as a case study in the frame of this qualitative research conducted during the summer 2019. Results show that the ABC approach is nearly perfectly understood by both geoparks, however there are both internal and external factors which influence the extent and form of how this concept is applied in practice. Except for specific geographical settings, different stages of geopark product development, and different managerial approaches, they mainly include the level of scientific knowledge and general education in the given geopark, as well as level of knowledge management and networking with another UNESCO global geoparks. The more experienced Muroto Geopark interpretation exhibits a comparatively higher level of visible ABC application, while the Colca and Volcanoes Andagua Geopark can benefit in the future from the natural inclination and ability of the local people to integrate the cultural aspects into their Earth heritage interpretation.

Mathematics Course

High schools are requiring students to complete more years of mathematics in order to graduate (Reys et al. 2007). This requirement raises several questions for schools, teachers, students, and parents. In particular, what mathematics should students study, and how should that mathematics be organized? High school mathematics programs today use two different mathematics course sequences. One sequence focuses each course on a specific subject (algebra, geometry, algebra, or precalculus), while the other integrates mathematical strands throughout each course. Choosing between subject-based and integrated course sequences stimulates discussions about-and often controversy over—which organizational choice is best and for whom.

Many high school mathematics students unrealistically believe that if they can just finish one more general mathematics course, they will never again have to face mathematics. They realize that they must know how to write checks and are quite eager to learn about managing a checking account. Other than this banking activity, they are quite sure that only engineers and mathematics teachers use mathematics on a daily basis. When asked about such items as taxes and insurance, the stock answer is, “Oh, I'll just let my accountant take care of things like that!”

The Given

The article’s objective, which is to identify the causes of the very poor level of management of the administration of these state assets, to present the possibilities of a long-tested experimental model at the Land Fund of the Czech Republic, and to draw attention to this model’s potential in its possible implementation in administration of the entire management complex of these state assets in the Czech Republic. The authors first dealt with the theoretical aspects of the given issue, and then prepared an analysis of the original debt collection management “system”. This is logically followed by an analysis of the experimental model’s efficiency, rounded off with its conclusions. The final chapter contains the results of the research aimed at the current level of knowledge of the examined issue in compressed form, further the outcomes of the research concerned with original unsystematic debt collection management, also results of the implementation of the experimental model, and the assessment of the significance belonging to the results of implementing the experimental model for the entire national economy of the Czech Republic.
