Teaching and Learning Mathematics: From Secondary School to University

Mathematics is not one of the main concerns in citizen lives, despite the will of many mathematicians and Mathematics teachers. However, most people have some contact with the discipline at some point in their lives, and, virtually, everybody agrees that some basic Mathematics knowledge is necessary to get by in day-today existence. Needless to say, Mathematics is, with no doubt, the one subject that creates at the same time enthusiasm and dissatisfaction in schools. Mathematics is an ancient Science. It existed long before it acquired a name and its origins go back at least to the time when human beings learned to count. It is also worth mentioning, as Galileo once said, that the Universe is written in mathematical language 2 , 1 Basically, this is a revised and updated version of the article by the same authors, "Teaching and Learning

Analysing the relationships between students and mathematics: a tale of two paradigms

Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2017

Staging of Mathematical Education

The overwhelming majority of students are not good at Mathematics. The rest are called "mathematically gifted". But school and university Mathematics courses are understandable for an average student. The same concerns the other subjects. We suggest that teaching, learning and mastering a subject are stepwise processes and every step has its tasks and methodology of realization. Break of these step-by-step processes can lead to negative consequences. At the beginning of the teaching process the main task is to form the right attitude towards the subject, to overcome the perception of a subject as a formulary and a set of meaningless instructions. This is the main purpose of the first step, and knowledge, skills formation and factual material acquirement go second.
