| Research Abstract |
This study developed an instructional package to teach Lisp programming for high school students in mathematics classes. The curriculum was developed to give more understanding about mathematical formula processing using computers as tools for simulation. Through this curriculum students were expected to re-organize their mathematical knowledge, to improve their understanding, to recognize an importance of mathematical formalization.
Firstly, a curriculum and instructional materials were developed. Then a experimental teaching project for three years was administrated to investigate if the curriculum and the materials are appropriate or not. In the project, some instructive results to improve the curriculum were obtained and they were improved gradually after the end of every year. As the result a useful curriculum and materials which are able to use in schools were obtained.
Secondly, teacher training methods for this curriculum were discussed. For this study students of a teacher training college were, taught by using developed instructional materials. Half of the students felt that they understood as well as they would be able to teach these contents for high school students but many of them didn't show good performance for the tests and reports of this course.
Thirdly, some additional materials for helping teachers' activities were developed. They include video materials to advise teaching methods, TP sheets to explain some important conccpts in the curriculum and some mistakes of students which were observed in the experimental teaching projects.
