Title: Bildung, Mathematical Literacy and Civic Education
Subtitle: The (Strange?) Case of Contemporary Austria and Germany
Abstract:

Civic education in terms of fostering societal participation and active citizenship is a goal that is prominently addressed in both conceptions of “mathematical literacy” discussed in the international context and (contemporary) conceptions of “Bildung/ Allgemeinbildung” specific to the German speaking countries. In this paper I will argue that in transitioning from such conceptions to contemporary reform efforts like educational standards, national regimes of testing and standardized exams the notion of mathematical literacy/Allgemeinbildung changes as well in a way that may be self-defeating as far as the goal of (critical) citizenship is concerned.
