| Abstract | The implementation of the Target Oriented Curriculum (TOC) has caused much controversy and misunderstanding. This article highlights issues and prevalent ideas in the reform of school mathematics curriculum with reference to curriculum documents of Australia, United Kingdom and United States of America. It also, in its second part, attempts to interpret the ideas set forth in documents related to the TOC initiative in Hong Kong. It is then followed by a discussion of issues such as the change of goals, the content-process balance, teaching and learning style, and the problems of assessment. Finally, factors which hinder the implementation of TOC are briefly discussed. |
