School Mathematics in the Era of Globalization
"... ABSTRACT: This essay reviews the principles motivating contemporary critical mathematics discourses. Drawing from varied critical discourses including ethnomathematics, critical theory, post-structural theory, and situated and ecological cognition, the essay examines the pragmatics of critiques to t ..."

to the privileged role of school mathematics in the era of globalization. Critiques of modern school curricula argue that globalization practices linking education to technological and economic development are increasing, and the curriculum is being re-defined through discourses of privatization, national standards
On the Consistency and Correctness of School Mathematics
"... Consistency and correctness are related but different notions. We say that two statements are inconsistent if they contradict each other; and if they do not, they are consistent. So two incorrect statements may be consistent with each other. On the other hand, we say that a statement is correct if i ..."

if it is true. But truth may depend on the situation. So a statement that is correct in one situation can be incorrect in a different situation. Teaching school mathematics in a consistent and a correct way is not easy. Consistency. One cause of the difficulty is that theoretical mathematics is partitioned
School Mathematics and Popularization of Mathematics
"... Abstract: Mathematics is vital not only in ordinary person's everyday life but also in the cutting-edge technology of the information age. Mathematics is everywhere from counting objects to telecommunication and image processing. Unfortunately most of mathematics in everyday life is invisible ..."

Empirical and Autonomical Aspects of School Mathematics
"... The aim of this paper is to re-examine the importance of autonomical aspects of school mathematics. First, two aspects of mathematics, empirical and autonomical, will be found in some philosophical researches. Then, some discussions in mathematics education will be organized based on these two aspec ..."

Doing High School Mathematics Carefully
, 1997
"... We show how solutions to typical problems of High School and first-year University mathematics can be written using structured derivations. Such a derivation extends the calculational proof format with subderivations that allow inferences to presented at different levels of detail. By using structur ..."

"... Abstract Often, there are two streams in statistical research -one developed by practitioners and other by main stream statisticians. Development of geostatistics is a very good example where pioneering work under realistic assumptions came from mining engineers whereas it is only now that statisti ..."
