Implementing a New Mathematics Curriculum Based on Genetic ConstructivismUdgave 1

This book shows the transformative power of genetic constructivism in mathematics education, exploring how research, practice, and policy converged to drive educational innovations in the Czech Republic can offer valuable insights into the evolution of mathematics teaching on an international scale.

Drawing on a seventy-year legacy of advancements, the book highlights the pioneering ideas that emerged during the communist regime and were further developed after the Velvet Revolution, influenced by both East-European and global perspectives. Each chapter sees leading international experts reflect on the development and large-scale implementation of genetic constructivism, examining its impact on learners and providing forward-looking recommendations for the future of mathematics education. The book also delves into key themes, including the origins and defining characteristics of genetic constructivism, practical applications in schools, and an evaluation of its influence on student learning, all while maintaining a consistent focus on joyful, autonomous discovery supported by thoughtful teaching.

Encouraging readers to critically assess their own teaching methods, this is the ideal resource for researchers, educators, and policymakers seeking innovative strategies to enhance mathematics education.
