AB  - The ICMI Study 24 Discussion Document and its research questions for theme D focused our attention on drivers that have influenced changes in the school mathematics curriculum. These were addressed in the previous texts of the theme Globalisation and internationalisation, and their impacts on mathematics curriculum reforms. In the Introduction, we identified “international drivers of the curriculum”. In Chap. 21, we examined the evolving definitions of numeracy and mathematical literacy. In Chap. 22 we surveyed the role of international assessments, namely PISA and TIMSS, in shaping curriculum reforms internationally and locally ; and in Chap. 23, we discuss the inclusion of computational (algorithmic) thinking in mathematics curriculum reforms.

AB  - The so-called fourth industrial revolution, based upon widespread use of data analytics, rapid refinements in artificial intelligence and its applications, and near universal access to high-speed Internet supporting cloud storages, has created economic and social conditions that require an increasing supply of ICT skilled workers. If one of the important purposes of school mathematics is to help young people to understand these conditions and prepare them to take part in this revolution in their future work, then, among other issues, computational/ algorithmic thinking (CT/AT), which underpins the above conditions, can be expected to assume a more visible place in the mathematics curriculum of the future. This chapter summarises recent research on CT/AT and outlines current trends, challenges and possible directions for the future of school mathematics curriculum that should foster developing CT/AT.

AB  - Globalisation and internationalisation in the twenty-first century are products of a rapidly changing world characterised by the widespread use of data analytics, rapid refinements in artificial intelligence and its applications, near universal access to high-speed Internet and supporting Cloud storages. These changes, sometimes referred to as a fourth industrial revolution, have a direct impact on mathematics curriculum reforms. They help to redefine what is meant by mathematical literacy, they offer new means of supporting international efforts at mathematics curriculum reform, they provide platforms for expanded use of international tests and assessments, they challenge the way existing subjects are taught; and they enhance the role of computational thinking in the school mathematics curriculum. These changes do not necessarily foreshadow the emergence of a standardised international curriculum since reforms inevitably occur in local or national contexts with their own rich traditions, history, and constraints. But national isolation is no longer desirable or feasible.

AB  - International assessment studies generally contribute to curriculum reform by highlighting certain aspects of curriculum needing improvement, usually attained though the recognition and application of some studies’ components. By focusing on the question “How have international studies driven school mathematics curriculum reforms?”, this chapter examines the role of international studies TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) and PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) in reforms in different countries. Emphasis is placed on examining components applied in (re)designing and implementing curriculum improvements. After presenting the global influences of TIMSS and PISA worldwide, the influences of these international studies are examined in case studies from four economically and geographically diverse countries. The chapter ends with a critical summary of the findings presented and outlines directions for further research.

AB  - Background:  The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has provided rich data displays informing the public about the spread of infection, risks for certain population groups and the effectiveness of vaccines. These data sources offer opportunities for students and teachers to explore and discuss data of high relevance to their lives and their communities.   Aim:  This article argues that in the teaching of statistics and probability, greater attention needs to be given to understand the three key elements of statistical literacy, namely context, conventions and uncertainty. The article also identifies several key areas linking theory and practice.   Setting:  This article draws on different data displays using COVID-19-related websites internationally; nationally in Africa and South Africa; and locally in the State of Victoria in Australia.   Methods:  By investigating and analysing different data displays, the article shows the importance of assisting students to understand context, data conventions, uncertainty and risk–benefit to understand COVID-19 data. The article examines pertinent ‘frontier’ areas in the teaching of probability and statistics.   Results:  The article identifies important opportunities and challenges for the teaching of statistics in schools and for teacher education, including greater attention to frequentist expressions of probability, risk–benefit analysis, the importance of time series analyses and critical approaches to the evaluation of available data sets.   Conclusion:  For schools, greater attention needs to be given to the different conventions by which data are expressed, including the use of dynamic dashboard representations.   Contribution:  The article shows how available COVID-19 data can be used to enhance students’ statistical literacy and enrich teacher education.

Then, it examines data discovery using automated analytics, whereby data insights may be indicated by suitable signals generated by the computer environment used. This theoretical paper, directed towards statistics educators, as well as other educators in relevant high school subjects, should make them (more) aware of this context and such analytics, supporting them to identify issues that need be considered in their teaching (and research) in order to have their students better prepared for the jobs of tomorrow.
