Philosophical Goals of Science and Mathematics Education: Reflective Review

Abstract

This paper is a collaborative effort among educators and researchers who reviewed issues on what is science and mathematics education for? what is mathematics striving for? Wherein, reviewed the contents of preferred articles: Aims of Mathematics Education (Rameley,2007); The Philosophy and Goals of Science Education (Hodson,1985) using a purposive approach thru design thinking methods, synthesized related literature to formulating
views that generalized a concept of understanding based on the author’s logical understanding. And using grounded theory findings revealed that in this present era, science was distinctly used to calculate societal workloads, and in school, people were used to calculating mathematical problems. It was determined Both in and outside the school premises that science and mathematics were infused, and people shifted from teaching competencies that computers can do rather than focusing onward to competencies that complement computer capabilities.
