  1. Mathematics in Mexico: Structure of thesystem,Studentsachievement and Impactof educacation research Carlos Bosch Giral Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México January 29nd. , 2014

  2. Primary school ( 6 grades 6 to 12 years old) • Secondary school (3 grades, 13 to 16) • Reforms coming from the ministry of education in 2013

  3. Reformson 2013: Goals • Better quality in the basic education (primary and secondary) ending in better results in Pisa. • Get back the leadership of the Mexican goverment in the national educational system • Increase in the enrollment and the quality of the education at high schools, colleges and universities.

  4. Reforma educativaElementos

  5. Teaching is on the centre of education and that is done by teachers • In general the set of teachers is not adecuate for the actual needs. Several classes are taught by unqualify teachers. • A better initial trianing is needed. • We need better teachers • We need to help them to become better teachers

  6. Programs in 2012 • Arithmetic: teaching and learningprocess • Algebra :teaching and learningprocess • Geometry: teaching and learningprocess • Processthestatisticinformation

  8. Pisa Mexico

  9. Observations • México (413) isbelowCanada(518), Spain (484) USA (481)and Chile (423); similar level as Uruguay and Costa Rica and aboveBrazil(391), Argentina (388), Colombia (376) y Perú (368) • 55% of the mexican students of mathematics do not reach the basic level 2 (average of OCDE: 23%) • Best mexicans reach 539 which is the average in Japan

  10. Theworst • In 32 from the 34 OCDE countries, more than 90% of 15 years old persons are enrolled in schools. • In Mexico this index is below 70% • Union and thewayteachersthey are hire

  11. Mathematics Competitions Concurso de Primavera and Competencia Cotorra Studentsfrom to 15 yearsold More than 500 000 (half a million) of participants Excellentresults in Olimpiada de Mayo and Olimpiada Rioplatense(firstorsecond) Olimpiada Mexicana de Matemáticas (2 golds) 2010 --- 33 2011--- 22 2012--- 31 2013--- 17

  12. Impact of education research

  13. Main lines of research in mathematics education in Mexico • Arithmetic: Fractionsand proportions in primaryand secondaryschool. Impact in theprogramsand therecommendationsfortheteachers (little) • Algebra: The concept of variable. Impact in theprograms(little) • Geometry: Primary and secondary school (little) • Statistics and probability (almost no impact) • Problem solving (Impact on the approach)

  14. There is a very important centre of mathematical education research. (Cinvestav) • There are more people with a mathematics education degree than a degree in mathematics. • Their impact in mathematics education is very low.

  15. Conclusions • There is something that need to be done since we are getting behind. • This is not only Mexico. • We need to do something together!!!!!!
