This article intends to understand the degree in which expectations about the modern mathematics reform werefulfilled. Focusing on the Portuguese case, we probed four quantitative studies developed by governmental institutions at the time of the reform, usually intended to evaluate its implementation at several grade levels. Re-appreciated in modern times, these studies provided us with insights about the reform. More specifically, following Gimeno’s distinction among several curricular levels, the contemporary inspection of those studies allowed us to have an insight of the curriculum presented to teachers, the curriculum modelled by them, and the attained curriculum at the time of the reform. |
