| Abstract |
|
The concern of this small publication is to explore the extent to which there is common ground in the approach to the education of primary school teachers in science and mathematics. To the extent that this is the case it may be possible for there to be some economy in time and effort and some increase in effectiveness in teacher education programmes. Given the greater emphasis on these areas of the primary curriculum in all countries, and the concern that this causes to teacher education, such possibilities are well worthserious exploration. But theargumentsgo beyond the pragmatic to the essential nature of the subjects and the value of defining differences and commonalities so that the identity of each subject is respected even in the early stages of children’s learning. We have been careful to respect the integrity of the mathematics and science whilst arguing that there is much in common about the approach to learning the subjects at the primary level.(auteur) Added by: Brigitte Bacconnier Last edited by: Brigitte Bacconnier |
