This study concentrated on word problems in Grades Kindergarten-3 and the application of the Standards for Mathematical Practice and the Content Standards. The study also included an analysis of focus, coherence, and rigor in the materials. The textbooks used were among the first editions to be published after the acceptance of the Common Core State Standards in more than 40 states. The study analyzed the presence of the Common Core Standards in each series and how the three textbook series compared to each other in their word problem solving. The correlation of materials in the three textbook series relied on publishers’ descriptions in the Lesson Openers where the usages of the Standards for Mathematical Practice and the Content Standards and the principles of focus, coherence, and rigor are listed. The publishers’ descriptions were analyzed and compared to the individual evaluation criteria. Using an evaluation criterion, the study examined how Standards for Mathematical Practice were implemented in the textbooks. With the exception of a few grades in two textbook series, the texts displayed low percentages in their adherence to the Standards. The textbook series were similar in their development of word problems labeled with Standards for Mathematical Practice and word problems not labeled with the Standards. In this comparison, the only difference between the two types of word problems was in the verbiage. The Content Standards were used to determine the textbook series alignment with the Standards. The three textbook series showed low implementation of word problem Content Standards when compared to the total number of Standards. In two series, only one Content Standard was listed multiple times rather than a combination of comparable Standards. Relying on the publishers’ descriptions, the study showed how publishers implemented focus, coherence, and rigor in their materials. Of the three publishers, one publisher did not list coherence and rigor in its materials. The other two publishers adhered to focus and coherence in most or all of their materials. All of the publishers fell short in the application of rigor in their textbook series.

O presente trabalho discute o direito à educação básica em Moçambique. Compreendendo o direito à educação como um conjunto de condições que asseguram o acesso, permanência e conclusão de um determinado nível de educação escolar, visa examinar as implicações da reorganização política e econômica do Estado moçambicano na efetivação do direito à educação básica, entre 1987 e 2007. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental e análise da literatura especializada reflete sobre os fundamentos do direito à educação e analisa as políticas de educação básica em Moçambique. Para o efeito, além das políticas de educação, analisa dados estatísticos do Sistema Nacional de Educação de Moçambique. O trabalho está dividido em três capítulos, sendo um primeiro de revisão teórica e dois que discutem Estado e políticas de educação em Moçambique no contexto das orientações político-econômicas. No fim, são apresentadas algumas considerações sobre as implicações da reforma do Estado em Moçambique na efetivação do direito à educação básica, com alguns apontamentos sobre as contradições entre o ideário que preconiza a educação enquanto um direito social de cidadania e os pressupostos neoliberais que fundamentam as reformas em causa. / This work intends to contribute to the debate on the right to basic education in Mozambique. Including the right to education as a set of conditions that ensure access, retention and completion of a certain level of education aims to examine the implications of political and economic reorganization of the Mozambican state in the realization of the right to basic education between 1987 and 2007. Through literature and documents and qualitative analysis of the literature, reflects on the foundations of the right to education and examines the policies of basic education in Mozambique. To this end, in addition to education policies, data from the National System of Education in Mozambique are analyzed. The work is divided into three chapters, with the first of theoretical review and two another chapters discussing state and education policies in Mozambique in the context of political-economic review guidelines. In the end, we present some considerations about the implications of state reform in Mozambique in the realization of the right to basic education, with some notes on the contradictions between the ideology which advocates education as a social right of citizenship and neoliberal assumptions that underlie reforms in question.

Šio magistrinio darbo tikslas - nustatyti, kokias įgyvendinimo problemas akademinė bendruomenė įžvelgia. Valstybinė švietimo strategija priimta 2003 m. liepos 4 d. Seime, kurioje numatyta įgyvendinimo krypčių sistema. Atkreipiamas dėmesys į kokybišką išsilavinimą, valdymo kultūrą ir galimybes mokytis visą gyvenimą. Išskiriamos penkios Valstybinės švietimo strategijos įgyvendinimo kryptys: valdymas, infrastruktūra, parama, turinys ir personalas. Empirinis tyrimas parodo, kad svarbiausi Valstybinėje švietimo strategijos siekių kontekste yra aukštojo mokslo finansavimas, mokymo modernizavimas, dabartinis studentų krūvis, priklausantis nuo informacinių technologijų diegimo, kurios palengvintų studentų mokymosi kokybę. Nuo 2009 m. įvedamas studentų krepšelis ( valstybės lėšos), kuris visiškai padengs studentų studijų išlaidų didesniąją dalį. Švietimo įstaigos turi padėti asmenims įgyti tokią kvalifikaciiją, kuri tenkintų šių dienų poreikius, atitiktų šiuolaikines technologijas. / The main aim of this work is to determine what problems of realization the academic community perceives. The system of realization trends was projected in the state education strategy enacted on the 4th of July in 2003 by Parliament. It is paid attention to the calibre, the management culture and the opportunity to learn all the life. There are five the realization trends of state education strategy: the management, the infrastructure, the support, the content and the personnel. The analysis of the research shows that the finance of higher education, the modernization of teaching, the present learning load of students which belongs to the implementation of information technology are the main trends of state education strategy. The finances of a state will be introduced in 2009 which will offset the best part expenses of students learning. The educational institution should have to help persons to gain the qualification which should meet the requirements of these days and satisfy modern technology.
