Secondary-Undergraduate Articulation: Moving Forward

摘要

There is an important research agenda here. We want to do more than document―we need to facilitate and stimulate articulation relating to this common vision that bridges secondary and post-secondary education as well as secondary education and the modern workplace. With that in mind, we at COMAP are actively planning to research transitions between high school and college. Similarly, we will look at transitions to workplace environments that epitomize the recommendations of the SCANS report. Thus, the research focuses on the direction of mathematics education as suggested by the visions of prominent professional organizations involved in the teaching of mathematics, as well as a highly regarded vision of what is needed for success in the workplace. Our study is focused on change and facilitating the implementation of a consistent vision. We cannot afford to have the CUPM report just sit on the shelf. There is too much important work to be done.
