Position: We are teachers in a secondary school whose pupils (age: 14 - 19) can choose among three lines of study: electronics and telecommunications, computer science, general purpose scientific education. The subjects we teach are: Automation Systems (Romagnoli, Squitieri), Physics History and Philosophy (Gambaro), Mathematics and Physics (Vannucci).
City and Country: Genoa, Italy
Proposed Project: "Didattica Breve" (Quick Teaching), has the goal to renovate, rationalize and simplify teaching. The kind of partner we are looking for should agree with us on some basic facts:
a. Teaching mathematics is a problem.
b. It requires a multidisciplinary approach.
c. It requires new technical tools (computers and spreadsheets, for example).
d. It requires a great deal of research and discussion.
