Computer-supported mathematical learning in the information age: mathematical modelling learned through hypertexts
Shoichiro Machida · 1998
The educational aims for school mathematics in the information-and knowledge-intensive society require new emphases. Students must be able to grasp phenomena mathematically and systematically and be able to judge the authenticity of this knowledge. The nature of knowledge and information in the 21st Century has changed substantially from that of earlier centuries and mathematics transformed from the study of entities through visual mathematics and mathematical experiments (modelling) facilitated through the use of new visual media — the hypertext electronic textbook.
