Abstract:
The authors want to analyse the differences between the British and the Spanish education systems regarding the secondary education of Mathematics. The objective is to provide a different point of view for Spanish teachers, who can take advantage from the British system characteristics, being at the same time a reference for the changes in the Spanish system with the new educative reform approved with the Organic Law on the Improvement of the Quality of Education. Some comments on the universitary education in both systems are also indicated, with the objective of highlighting the main differences between them. As main conclusions, the British system is more graphic and pragmatic teaching mathematics, while the Spanish system provides a better theoretical basis. |
