Abstract
The first part of the present chapter contains a brief sketch of the prehistory of our publication. It deals with the various phases we went through in the Wiskobas project before arriving at the conception of a three-dimensional goal description within the frame of innovation. In the second part we survey the contents of the present study. The third part aims at justifying our attempt at answering the query about content and form of goal descriptions for mathematics instruction such as are presented in our publication. Finally we conclude with a summary of starting points, goals and methods of goal descriptions.
