The Subject

The Committee has elsewhere expressed its judgment that in the seventh eighth and ninth grades mathematics should be a required subject. In the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, however, the extent to which election of subjects is permitted will depend on so many factors of a general character that it seems unnecessary and inexpedient for the present Committee to urge a positive requirement beyond the minimum one for the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. The subject mnst, like others, stand or fall on its intrinsic merit or on the estimate of such merit by the authorities responsible at a given time and place. The Committee believes, nevertheless, that every standard high school should not merely offer courses in mathentatics for the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, but should encourage a large proportion of the pupils in its general courses to take some or all of these courses. Apart from the intrinsic interest and great educational value of the study of mathematics, it will in general be necessary for those preparing to enter college or to engage in the numerous occupations involving the use of mathematics to do work beyond the minimum requirement.

The Subject

One of the most obvious facts about mathematics in our secondary schools is a very general dissatisfaction which is expressed on all sides. There is an alarming number of failures, especially in the first year of the high school, which argues that the pupils do not find the subject suited to their tastes and capacities. Instructors in the colleges and universities rarely miss an opportunity for declaring that their students came poorly prepared. The programs of teachers' meetings and the tables of contents of pedagogical journals are teeming with titles which assume that something is wrong.

Tennis Court

For several centuries subject matter was considered the only thing of importance in a course in mathematics. Then came a demand for the teaching of the applications of mathematics. Consequently there was written into our textbooks various types of applied problems. In the old order of things it was considered sufficient for the pupil to prove as an exercise-theorem that if the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal the figure is a rectangle. Now we suggest in connection with this exercise that a boy may test his accuracy in laying out a rectangular tennis court by measuring the diagonals. In more recent years we have also come to the realization that there is educational value in knowing the history of the subject; consequently we tell the pupil how and when the human race first discovered and proved this important fact about parallelograms with equal diagonals-or any other important and useful part of mathematics. So, in the last quarter of a century, we find the history of mathematics creeping into our high school textbooks. Let us consider then what value may be found in the history of mathematics, either in high school or college teaching, and how we may make use of mathematical history in teaching.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to assess the quality and correctness of information on Polish soils available on selected websites. Particular attention was paid to educational portals, which became the subject of evaluation of the information its contains in terms of the correctness, up-to-dateness and reliability. Twenty-five websites representing educational portals and blogs were selected for analysis in terms of their contents (type of subject matter) correctness (substantial value), curentness (presence of up-to-date information) and completeness. Most of the information on the evaluated educational portals is targeted at high school students. These websites present only basic content. The most frequent issues on the analyzed portals were: soil types and soil systematics, distribution of soils in Poland, definition of soil and also soil valuation classes. Websites addressed to university students constitute a decided minority, could be said, that even an exception. One of those is article on Wikipedia, which has the highest educational value among all analysed websites.

The Subject

The aim of this presentation is to provide an overview of the subject of Religious Education (RE) taught in Greek primary and secondary schools through the lens of the diversity existing in the Greek society. The presentation refers to the Christian Orthodox oriented content – and the roots of this orientation - of the school textbooks and the curriculum on the subject of Religious Education related and compared with the Greek legislation and the European guidelines on Religious Education in detail. The issue was explored through the phenomenological approach which illuminates the subject of RE taught in Greek schools via the method of document analysis. The document analysis showed that the Greek legislation and the curricula of RE seem to be by and large consistent with the European guidelines on the freedom of religious conscience, as this is preserved in some way. However, neither the development of inter-religious dialogue nor the encouragement of pupils to discover different religions is foreseen within school with the exemption of some lessons relevant to other religions and faiths less in primary school and high school and more in Lyceum, the attendance of which is optional. In the end, the findings are discussed and some thoughts are expressed regarding the dimension that the subject of Religious Education should take in future in view of the present composition of the population in Greece.

So large a percentage of college freshmen who have taken all the mathematics the high school has to offer are poorly prepared to continue mathematics that one is moved to ask: “Why not demand well prepared mathematics teachers, if the subject is important enough to be taught?”

Motivation And Learning

The purpose of this study was to determine the application of self-regulated learning interventions to increase learning motivation and learning abilities in junior high school students who come from families with low socioeconomic levels. The intervention was given for five sessions through psychoeducation and assignments. The subject of this study is a male, 15 years old. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data analysis using triangulation techniques. The results of the analysis of observations, interviews, and assignment documents show that there are differences before and after the subject was given intervention. In general, self-regulated learning intervention has a positive impact on learning motivation and learning abilities of the subject. Several factors that support and inhibit intervention were explained. Some suggestions are given to develop the further intervention.
