The foreign Federation for info Processing, IFIP, is a multinational federation technical businesses inquisitive about info processing. IFIP is devoted to enhancing verbal exchange and elevated figuring out between practitioners of all international locations concerning the position details processing can play in all walks of lifestyles. This operating convention, Secondary tuition arithmetic on this planet of communique applied sciences: studying, educating and the Curriculum, was once organised via operating team 3.1, Informatics in Secondary schooling, ofiFIP Technical Committee for schooling, TC3. this is often the 3rd convention in this subject matter organised by means of WG 3.1, the former have been held in Varna, Bulgaria, 1977, and Sofia, Bulgaria, 1987-proceedings released via North-Holland Elsevier. the purpose of the convention was once to take a ahead examine the difficulty of the relationships among arithmetic and the recent applied sciences of data and conversation within the context of the elevated availability of interactive and dynamic details processing instruments. the main target was once at the arithmetic schooling of scholars within the age variety of approximately ll to 18 years and the subsequent issues have been addressed: • Curriculum: curriculum evolution; relationships with informatics; • academics: expert improvement; technique and perform; • newbies: instruments and methods; thought improvement; learn and thought; • Human and social concerns: tradition and coverage; own impact.

Example text

The iconic visuo-spatial mode uses iconic representations of objects, enabling us to sense spatial relationships to elaborate and interpret pictures and to consider thought experiments (what if ... ) as a demonstration method, for example, we may imagine holding certain conditions and 'see' whether a conclusion should follow. In the (visuo-)symbolic mode, one can distinguish: a) the symbolic-verbal mode of the classical Euclidean geometry in which, while conforming to the concept of Euclidean demonstration, objects are described and idealised and relationships are verbalised; b) the proceptual mode (procept=process+concept) of the algebra and elementary calculus; and c) the symbolic-logical mode, in which objects are defined, relationships are inferred and demonstrations are formal.

But the social importance of mathematics arises from peoples' capabilities in applying modes of mathematical thinking to very different fields of human experience and activity. It may seem obvious to point out that our societies are in many respects sustained by the mathematical capabilities of its people. Although people have always developed the skills needed to manipulate emerging technologies, nowadays we are facing a new challenge: informatics and telecommunication technologies are immensely more complicated and the models necessary to operate them have become more and more abstract.
