Outline of Final Research Achievements

We researched the teaching contents and methods for fostering the mathematics teacher in secondary school. Referring to mathematics curriculum design in UK or Finland, we have proposed the five strands about “Practical Teaching Ability for the mathematics teacher”, namely, understanding students’ learning process, understanding mathematics, mathematics curriculum design, developing mathematics lessons and teaching, and evaluating lessons. Concerning the phases of proceeding lessons, we particularly emphasize Mathematical Activity, which is indispensable for exploring mathematics and reforming learners’ sense of learning or doing mathematics lessons. Then we have done Lesson Studies in faculty of education and lower secondary schools, and clarified learners’ thinking in these phases.
