Real World Problems

AbstractThe use of authentic real-world problems that reflect the applied nature of mathematics is not prevalent in formal secondary school settings. In this study, we explore the interface between workplace mathematics, particularly tech-related real-world (TRW) problems, and school mathematics, through the explication of mathematical modeling. The research questions are (1) in which tech domains can real-world problems be identified that can be addressed using mathematical modeling for the secondary school level? (2) Which methods do engineers use to simplify tech-related problems for non-experts in their field? (3) In which areas in the secondary mathematics curriculum can TRW problems be mapped? We present a three-phase model which yielded the creation of a pool of 169 TRW problems. The first two phases of the model included extracting authentic problems from the work of tech engineers and simplifying them to be meaningful or perceivable to students. These were explored by conducting task-oriented interviews with senior tech engineers and scientists from leading companies and universities. The third phase was accomplished by interviewing mathematics education experts, and included verifying the compatibility of the problems with the formal, secondary-level mathematics curriculum. The study has methodological, theoretical, and practical contributions. These include methodology that enables identifying TRW problems that are compliant with the secondary mathematics curriculum; adding to the literature about mathematical modeling by demonstrating the interface between workplace mathematics and school mathematics; and creating a large pool of TRW problems that can be used in secondary school math lessons.

The City

This research aims to describe the perception of teachers and students to the curriculum development of Islamic economics and Islamic accounting at secondary school (high school) in the city of Gorontalo and forms of curriculum development. The method involves a survey of teachers and high school students in the city of Gorontalo by using random sampling with certain criteria. Criteria Teachers are teaching on the subjects of economics and accounting, amount of 17 people, while the student is enrolled as a student majoring in social studies subjects who have obtained economic and accounting totalling 200 students. Data were analysed using descriptive frequency test results. The results showed that 74.1% of teachers and 70.18% of students stated strongly agree and agree curriculum sharia economics and accounting is applied or taught at secondary school level (high school) in the city of Gorontalo. The poll results of the teacher find a form of curriculum implementation of economic and accounting sharia entered as a local content of 47%, incorporated into the lessons of Social Sciences (IPS) by 35%, and incorporated into the Standard competency or Basic competence in the subject of economics and accounting as much as 6%.

Editor's note.—Professor Lennart RÅde is a member of the Scandinavian Committee for the Modernizing of School Mathematics and is responsible for most of the work in probability and statistics produced by this committee. He is a University Lecturer at the Chalmers Technical High School, Göteborg, Sweden. This paper reflects the type of high school course that is now given in the Swedish Gymnas or senior high school. The Scandidinavian countries—through the works of Cramer, Fisher, and others—have made major and important contributions to probability and statistical theory. It is of value to study the approach given in this paper, with current books in the U.S.A. intended for secondary school study.—Howard F. Fehr.

Religious radicalsm is a serious problem whose solution should be found immediately. If it is ignored for a long time, it will bring negative impact and threaten the existence of NKRI. Nowadays, there is a great amount of religious violence that become “an achievement” in the caderization process done by Islamic radicals. Moreover, they have approached to any education levels, starting from secondary school level up to high school level. Therefore, it is necessary to have a serious attempt in deradicalizing the Islamic Education taught to the students in order to prevent the growth of radicalization among various religions, languages, racial and ethnic groups.

The Subject

Reading specialists at the secondary school level have been concerned for a long time about improved reading in the subject matter areas. Recently, there has been growing concern for qualitatively analyzing some of the difficulties students encounter in reading subject matter materials. Hopefully, analyses of the difficulties the materials present to students will provide information for restructuring or rewriting the materials so they will be easier to read.

The relative difficulties of concrete versus abstract and factual versus hypothetical verbal problems in mathematics were compared for secondary school students, extending previously reported results for elementary school students. Concrete problems were significantly less difficult than abstract problems (p<.01) at both the junior and senior high school levels, as previously observed at the elementary school level, but the differences became smaller in magnitude with increasing grade level. Factual problems were significantly less difficult than hypothetical problems (p<.01) at both the junior and senior high school levels, in contrast to the elementary school results. There was an interaction between the two experimental factors.

Approximate Rate

As one phase, perhaps, of the interest that has been developed in consumer education, some of the more familiar aspects of consumer credit are beginning to receive attention both in junior high school mathematics and in commercial mathematics. Many of the modern text books in these subjects include topics on installment buying and building and loan associations, and it is to be expected that the general interest in consumer credit will lead eventually to a rounded treatment so far as this is possible on the secondary school level.

The World

As larger numbers of teenagers entered high school early in this century, many of these students were judged not able or willing to take traditional academic mathematics. Thus, a new course was introduced to reinforce the basic-arithmetic skills of this group of students. While changing little over the years, general mathematics has become one of the most taught and least examined mathematics courses offered at the secondary school level. Even as the world has become more technologically advanced, general-mathematics enrollment has remained relatively stable, and the curriculum is still rooted in the “basic skills.” Many high school students understandably think of the study of mathematics as both boring and as a set of “rules to follow and memorize” (IEA 1985, 81).
