Beskrivning

The aim of the conference presented in this volume was to take a forward look at the issue of the relationships between mathematics and the technologies of information and communication in the context of the increased availability of interactive and dynamic information processing tools. The main focus was on the mathematics education of students in the age range of about 11 to 18 years and the following themes were addressed: curriculum - curriculum evolution, relationships with informatics; teachers - professional development, methodology and practice; learners - tools and techniques, concept development, research and theory; and human and social issues - culture and policy, personal impact. The final set of 23 papers formed the background against which discussion in small groups (Focus Groups) took place. In addition 26 short papers where submitted for review and most of these were presented at the conference. The papers provide an international perspective in terms of the range of countries represented.
