Ideas and results in teaching beginning maths students, Juha Oikkonen, University of Helsinki:

At the University of Helsinki, special effort has been put to help beginning maths students to get started with their studies. This involves new ways of teaching a lecture course and new ways of giving peer support to the students. The results have been promising: the number of students passing certain important courses has been at least doubled compared to the earlier prevailing level. The present article describes the work done in connection to a lecture course and the thinking that lies behind it. A paper on peer support is planned.

Some reasons for change in undergraduate mathematics enrolments, Derek Holton. Eric Muller mfl:

Here, we look at the enrolments of students in undergraduate mathematics courses in a number of countries. The data show various increases and decreases and we suggest some common reasons for the fluctuations. These include students' goals of a secure and well-paid job, government actions and the state of the economy in the country concerned. We consider several ways in which departments have successfully approached downturns in numbers by their interactions with students by introducing new teaching approaches, using technology and establishing mathematics centres.

Internationella tidskrifter i stort kring matematikutbildning finner du på NCM webbsplats under Bibliotek och litteratursökning..

Engelska elever på motsvarande gymnasienivå kan frivilligt delta i distansutbildning i förberedande universitetsmatematik med närstöd av lärare främst från den egna gymnasieskolan. Syftet är bland annat att öka antal sökande till utbildningar som kräver goda matematikkunskaper på universitetsnivå. Kurserna ges av det statsfinansierade "The Further Mathematics Network" som har 46 centra över hela England och som dessutom fungerar som en länk mellan gymnasieskola och universitet.

Välkommen att delta i ett seminarium på NCM fredagen den 12 december kl 13.00 - 16.00 med programledaren Charlie Stripp:

The Further Mathematics Network, widening access to high-level pre-university mathematics education in England.

Abstract

The Further Mathematics Network (FMN) allows universal access to high-level pre-university mathematics qualifications for 16 - 19 year olds in England. It was set up in response to a significant decline in numbers of students learning suitable mathematics to prepare for university study in mathematics and mathematics-related subjects.

The FMN is funded by the UK government to operate across the whole of England. It has a radical new approach to tuition, which involves a blended learning style. There is close cooperation between schools and universities (throughout this paper 'schools' refers to all institutions that provide pre-university education to 16 - 19 year olds) and extensive use of interactive computer technology (ICT). Where schools cannot provide tuition themselves, students are taught by tutors provided through the FMN. The FMN also supports teachers, helping more of them to teach higher-level mathematics. An important recent development is the use of 'Elluminate' software to provide live online tuition. As well as enabling wider access to tuition for students, this is also proving a very effective means of providing subject knowledge-focused professional development for teachers.

In the three years it has been operating, the FMN has resulted in a dramatic increase in participation in Further Mathematics qualifications. This is welcomed greatly by university departments in mathematics and mathematics-related subjects such as engineering and sciences.

About Charlie Stripp
My background is in mathematics teaching I worked for four years teaching in secondary schools (students aged 11 - 18), six years in college lecturing (students aged 16+) and have also trained teachers and lecturers in the teaching and learning of pre-university mathematics. For the past eight years I have worked for Mathematics Education and Industry (MEI), an educational charity concerned with improving mathematics education. In this time I pioneered MEI's extensive online teaching and learning resources and developed what has now become the Further Mathematics Network. I have been involved in the Mathematical Association for 18 years and have held senior positions as chair of the Post-16 Committee, chair of the Teaching Committee and a member of the Association's Council. I have co-authored textbooks and books on mathematical enrichment for secondary school students and written numerous articles on mathematics education for the Times Educational Supplement.
