Learning approaches in mathematics

Abstract

The introduction of the Action Plan in 1983 produced a number of changes in non-advanced post compulsory education in Scotland. New assessment procedures were introduced together with a modular course structure.

In Chapter one, the educational features of the new system and particularly those of, the SOCTVEC mathematics module Mathematics 2/Analysis 1 (M 2/A 1) are discussed.

Chapter two deals with the development of teaching/learning materials for that Mathematics module.

In Chapter three the evaluation of these materials and their role in the learning environment are described.

In Chapter four the implications of the study are discussed.
