Evaluating the content of engineering in middle school mathematics curricula in Iraq in the light of international standards NCTM

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze geometry topics included in the
books of mathematics middle school grades (1-3) in Iraq in light of
the standards (NCTM) has been adopted, the researcher descriptive
analytical method, as analyzed geometry topics included in the
books mentioned by content analysis tool (as a tool for the study),
which was built on the basis of standards (NCTM), and consisted
only of books of mathematics in these rows above sample study of
geometry topics, and the researcher used the percentages and
-742-
frequencies statistically as treatments, the study concluded that the
degree of availability of standards (NCTM) in geometry topics
included books math middle school in Iraq, ranging from medium
and low and that some of the criteria did not find her location
appears, has recommended a researcher in the light of these findings
to the need to build a platform geometry in accordance with
international standards for each stage of education and dissemination
of these standards on the administrators and teachers of mathematics
through courses and workshops in order to develop and improve the
curriculum in middle stage
