ネパール、カトマンズにおける幼児・初等教育段階の数学教育の現状

抄録

　The paper discusses the current situations in pre-primary and primary mathematics education in Nepal, focusing on the activities by Ministry of Education and Sports (MOES), Triphvaan University (TU) and schools in Kathmandu. The author conducted the document analysis, interviews to stakeholders and mathematics lesson observations. The result shows that MOES and TU share almost the same direction for the improvement of mathematics education. The syllabus places an emphasis on everyday life with the enhancement of joy of learning mathematics. By contrast, at the school level, teachers taught students using the teacher-centred approach, which children's learning was by far different from its philosophy stated in the syllabus as well as by MOES and TU.
