who is that
they recognize it
terminator
they are not wrong
that is the math teacher
we will see it better now
The same is not true what can be called
more insane
good because it comes like that to the prof
of mates
I think it ‘s because of something that I’ve
called in costa rica mate phobia that
fear and rejection of mathematics
is what is present when the
parents are lenient with
their children when it goes wrong in mate and not
they are always equally lenient when
they go wrong in studies or in Spanish
is what is present when we see the
test results
baccalaureate where math is
fifteen twenty points below the
other subjects
in what is present in some way
in which there are so few people that
study science technology engineering
mathematics
and of course
is present
in the bad returns that they have
our 15 year old boys in the
pisa tests of the ode
but well
it is the matter
because it occurs
The first thing to say is that it is
a sociocultural syndrome
it’s contagious
and it is hereditary
sometimes it involves these components
anxious anxiety
fear and rejection
only in different proportions and
curiously it does not occur equally in all
parts of the world
there are regions or countries where there is no mate
phobia
but good as fighting and weakening the
Anmat and phobia
you have to understand nature first
of mathematics
and mathematics is a science of what
abstract the most abstract aspects of
reality
and therefore
they are required
Scaffolding
stairs
they are required
mediations to reach the
objects of mathematics
and that means strategies
suitable teaching and educational
they mean evaluation strategies
adequate resources and of course
appropriate study programs
if that does not happen
there is matter
but well
and we have done in costa rica for
combat and weaken matter
a lot
but first let me tell you how I
involve in this process in the past
years already recognize that image is not
true
Of course
in the image of a very famous movie
which is called
the father
and in that movie
there is a phrase that repeats the character
main many times
that phrase is
I’m going to make an offer
who can not refuse
and what does all this have to do
with the godfather character
good
everything started in October 2010
it turns out that as a professor of
University of Costa Rica performed
investigations published articles
books and he was also a director of several
international organizations in
teaching mathematics and
mathematics
and suddenly
the education minister of that
then don leonardo garnier that they are going
to listen tonight
he asks me to help him with a reform
curricular on mars
they know what
this was an offer that I could not
to refuse
and so we started working on new
programs
that they were not a collection of patches that
they played all the primary and all the
high school
what they required
important actions on behalf of the country
that took up important experiences
important findings of education
mathematics in the world and in costa rica and
that involved material resources and
courses for teachers in service
in the design and implementation of
these programs has been a key piece
the education reform project
mathematics in costa rica of the ministry
of public education
the human team
of this project is composed of
researchers from public universities
technology experts and professors from
primary and secondary mep in service
It is important to mention here that we have
counted on the support
of important organizations of society
civil as the foundation costa rica usa
for cooperation crosses as the
omar dengo foundation most recently
the business association for
development and something very important that not
you always get the support of two
governments of the republic of 2010 to
2014 and from 2014 to 2018 and
particularly in the last government it
They have redoubled efforts around
this reform
the mathematical reform
it’s a country project
I can talk a lot about the big
virtues that appear or have appeared in
this reform but I will take this
opportunity to only touch one the
innovation
we have generated dozens and dozens of
online documents available for
all teachers in the country
we have done multiple trainings
in particular bimodal courses with a
face-to-face and a virtual part
the latter conducted through the
mural platform that is used by many
the universities if not all of the country and
we have not we have not stayed there we have
designed entirely virtual courses
following the modality very by their
acronym in English massive open on line
courses that are developed in
line
where they develop through videos
practically all the contents
we have used one of the platforms
Internationals that use important
American universities mx for
conduct these courses but we still do not
we have stayed there
we have followed and since 2017 we have
elaborated and executed
50 minutes
and that are minimal because many but more
small compact focused every minimum
It can be done in less than 15 hours
there are minimums for primary school teachers and
secondary school and many for students who
they prepare the baccalaureate tests
this is pure innovation
but good
what is this reform which has already been
five years
they remember the Pythagorean theorem they see
they were not going to save themselves from something
math or the string
they remember the Pythagorean theorem that
that connects the legs with the
hypotenuse and there is a certain relationship
well I’m not going to talk about that I’m going to
talk about how you thought or used the
Pythagorean theorem before and as now
before
in previous programs the theorem
I did not have a reason why
a utility a context what was the
focus the emphasis the content
mathematical now that we are interested in
capabilities that are generated around
learn that theorem
and those are different capabilities of
reason argue
identify discriminate and create
capabilities for making better
decisions that interests us now that
we are interested we are interested that
problems are interesting
Now we are interested in not only working in
Mathematical contexts too
social scientific occupations
real now we are interested in there being the
use of technology and history to
have a human face of the
mathematics
all
in this reform leads to try to
weaken the anmat and fury
and fortunately in the country they continue
our steps already recently to
the end of 2016 the superior council of
education approved a new policy
national curriculum for all
subjects based in part on the model
of mathematics
Maybe that’s the way we’ll have some reforms
more systematic systematic curricula
scheduled with an adequate protocol
as does japan or south korea
but
we have advanced
the answer is yes
and a lot but
there are frictions and educational circuits
very disguised there are enough teachers
that are not well prepared there
English university programs there
extracurricular problems that affect
the development of the lessons and
weaknesses with the evaluation still
a lot is missing
but let’s continue to develop and
consolidating this reform to stop and
fight the mate phobia just like this we are going to
build or help have citizens
with greater capabilities and only then we go
to continue pushing for a costa rica
more cultured and more prosperous
thank you very much for your attention
