DISE Research Talks: Math Curriculum Development
Guest Speaker: Sedigheh Asgari, University of Isfahan (Iran)
In a centralized educational system like Iran, the mathematics education curriculum that is implemented by teachers is created by curriculum developers. In such a process, the separation of curriculum "developers" and curriculum "implementers" leads to a gap between the intended curriculum and implemented one. With this in mind, the presentation will discuss the following: the educational system of Iran; Iranian mathematics textbooks (with an emphasis on seventh-grade algebra); the role of teachers in the mathematics curriculum; and teachers' contributions to designing a lesson based on a mathematics textbook.
