The educational and statistical validity of grading schemes is often open to question when multiple evaluation techniques are used. A method of scaling is proposed and discussed in relation to normal scores. (SD)

In this paper, prepared for a European conference on mathematics education in the 1980's, the author discusses the relationships among the mathematician, the teacher, and society. He also addresses the problems of language in mathematics teaching and the appropriate use of physical models in the classroom. (SD)

In this paper, prepared for a European conference on mathematics education, the author examines three types of computer use in undergraduate and high school classrooms: Using the computer as an instructional tool for student development of algorithms, teaching about the computer itself, and use of computer-assisted instruction. (SD)

The author presents predictions concerning the major trends of education in the 1980's. He discusses financial matters, the relationships between the interests of society and those of educators, and the relationship of education to society. This paper was presented at a European conference on mathematics education in the 1980's. (SD)

This paper, prepared for a European conference on mathematics education in the 1980's, reviews the traditional curricular approach and recent changes in ten European countries. The contributions of individuals and national societies to these changes are discussed. (SD)

In this paper, prepared for a European conference on mathematics education in the 1980's, the author addresses the questions of the nature of mathematics and of mathematics education. From these discussions he derives a set of goals, and describes the relationships of various political and scientific phenomena to them. (SD)

In this paper the authors summarize points raised in a European seminar on mathematics education in the 1980's. Their comments deal with organization and innovation, ordinary children, primary mathematics education, and cooperation among disciplines and among countries. (See SE 513 520 - SE 513 524.) (SD)

This paper, the author's introductory remarks at a British conference concerning Modern Mathematics and the Teaching of Science, describes the contrasting objectives of students, mathematicians, and scientists with respect to the mathematics curriculum. (SD)

This paper, prepared for a British conference on Modern Mathematics and the Teaching of Science, explores the problem of the relationships between mathematics and science curricula. Four hypotheses concerning the cause of "worsening" of the problem are posed. (SD)

This report details the mathematical skills and knowledge necessary for understanding of biological phenomena. Requirements for secondary school and undergraduate courses are listed separately. Provisions for training and retraining are discussed, and recommendations concerning further work of this group are made. (SD)
