The Romanian Mathematics and Informatics Education

Abstract

Aims: The main aim of this report is to set forth a survey of the Romanian Mathematics and Informatics Education at the present time. We emphasize some of the recent, specific and significant Romanian methods concerning the teaching and learning of Mathematics and Informatics, starting from pre-school and primary level to the university mathematics and informatics education, the role of national and international mathematical competitions, the education of mathematics and informatics teachers, the formation of researchers in mathematics and informatics, their contributions and perspectives, the mathematics and informatics education in society and culture, the technologies in mathematics and the future of computers in education, links between research and practice, and developments in both these fields. Our considerations show, in a concise manner, the significant details regarding the current Romanian Mathematics and Informatics Education and the corresponding scientific studies. Conclusion: In Romania, mathematics and informatics are taught, learned and applied by inter- and trans-disciplinary related applications, honoring both pupils and the teachers, aiming and succeeding at properly synchronizing the traditional forms of education and the international ones, in particular those corresponding to the forms existing in the European Community, following the new Law of Education and starting from the pre-education given in the family.
