报告摘要：Prof Richmond explores some of the ways in which the history of Canada (celebrating 150 years this year) shapes the ways in which the curriculum goals are structured, including those relating to Mathematics. As one example he contrasts the meaning of the two English words Education and Training and discusses how the cultural valuing of Education over Training can affect the methodology of teaching Mathematics. Finally, he looks at some of the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and how the result for Canada can be interpreted.
