Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this project is to study the characteristics and viability of the mathematics teaching based on the paradigm of questioning the world (called SRP) in Japanese secondary school. In SRP, students can use anything they need (such as internet and books) and study mathematics as necessary in order to construct an answer to a given question, like the researcher's inquiry process. Through four years of project period, we carried out several teaching experiments in various schooling levels, from elementary school to university, and in different formats (e.g., mono- or multi-discipline, long or short terms). The analyses of data allowed us to reveal the positive aspects as well as the challenges for implementing SRP in Japan. We could also disseminate our results through different international and national conferences and journals.
