A Comparison of the Contents of Statistics and Probability in Mathematics Curriculum Standards Between China and England
摘要
This paper compared the topic of probability and statistics in two curriculum standards between China and England. Using content analysis and comparison methods, this study focuses on the comparison of overall characteristics, content distribution, content extension, information and communication technology. The findings show that the contents of the two curriculum standards are both based on statistics, supplemented by probability. The content distribution and content extension of Chinese curriculum standards are both lower than those of England curriculum standards. For information and communication technology, both the two curriculum standards advocate the effective use of information and communication technology and recommended that teachers should make judgments about the use of technology.
