ANALYSIS OF THE MATH CURRICULUM IN THE PRIMARY EDUCATIONAL CYCLES

Abstract

This paper is going to analyze the new math curriculum in the primary educational cycle that is taken over and adopted by the Biro of Development and Education from the Cambridge International Examination. In the beginning we are going to make a comparison between the old curriculum and the new one, and we are going to try to find and answer why they are actually taken over (copied) from another country. Also, we are going to try to find out why there weren’t any pilot researches through the country that were going to show us the problems in the practice, so we could intervene in due time.
In this paper we are also going to try to explain the need for taking over complete curriculum from a foreign country and the possible application of those programs to the home educational system. The end is going to consider the procured results from the research of the primary education teachers and the level of their satisfaction of their work with the students, but also the challenges (problems) they are facing through the educational practice. The advantages and the disadvantages of the curriculum, the possibility of its realization, the implications on the teachers it has and the possibilities for progress are going to be pointed out through concrete examples. Also we are going to give an answer whether and how much the Biro of Development and Education is ready and competent to give training.
