Curriculum and the Role of Research: Report of the ICME 12 Survey Team

Abstract The survey team collected information on the development and use of curriculum from 11 diverse countries around the world. The data shows that a common set of mathematics learning goals are established in almost all countries. However, only a few countries report a substantial role for research in designing and monitoring the development of their curriculum. The data also suggests great variation among countries at the implementation level. Keywords: Standards. Curriculum. Technology. Tracking. Textbooks. Research and Teacher Support
