title = "Mathematics education and the information society",
abstract = "Starting point for this chapter is that societal changes ask for adaptations of a foundational mathematics curriculum for all. This chapter especially looks at the effects of information technology and globalization on the job market and employability with an eye on its consequences for the goals of mathematics education. It shows that next to the need for a change toward more problem solving and interaction, changes in the content of the curriculum will be needed. It is argued that the latter may concern topics such as, measurement, variability, and reasoning with (models of) relations between variables. In addition it is shown that information technology may offer the means to tailor education toward these goals.",
