Teaching and Learning Mathematics in Turkey (original) (raw)

This presentation discusses mathematics education in Turkey from the perspective of teaching and learning. An overview of mathematics education in Turkey, the contemporary national high school mathematics curriculum, its varied applications, and factors affecting its success are presented. The national exam, which is mandatory for all students to be admitted to a university in Turkey, destructively circumscribes the mathematics curriculum in high schools. In this context, the factors causing unfavorable outcomes and preventive measures are discussed. While a modest selection of national and international attributes of educators and agencies are provided, the presentation mainly focuses on the achievements of the Turkish Mathematical Society in enhancing mathematics education and promoting public interest in the subject. A narration of an innovative school, the Nesin Mathematical Village, which is designed to cultivate deep mathematics appreciation among its participants, is given.
