Abstract

Time-lag in curriculum can be described as a misalignment between the curriculum content that children are learning in schools and new and current research findings and developments. Addressing time lag as an issue for curriculum development is a significant challenge facing governments in numerous countries from around the world, particularly in relation to the current explosion of new technologies and the advancements in knowledge that this explosion has afforded. In this chapter we explore the issue of time-lag in the Australian context by analysing new developments in cognitive science and neuroscience about mathematics learning. We draw on integrative literature review as a methodology to assess, critique, and synthesise the literature in the cognitive sciences and neuroscience over the past three years. We then draw on this review to examine if time-lag is an issue for mathematics in the curriculum and highlight any implications on current teaching practice and mathematical learning. We conclude the chapter by introducing a new perspective that can be drawn on by policymakers to ensure that new and current research developments filter directly through to curriculum, teachers, and children in more timely and impactful ways.
