Abstract:
Today
mathematics education arouses the interest of various subjects: not
only insiders, such as mathematicians, teachers, pedagogists,
philosophers, and psychologists, but also policy makers and
entrepreneurs. Although the debate on mathematics education is lively
and multi-faceted, it is often its socio-economic impact, more than
other aspects, that comes under the spotlight. Mathematical competence,
problem solving, mathematical skills required for technological
development and in everyday life are indeed the keywords of mathematics
education today. However, looking into the past or to the future, other
issues and new challenges are brought into light, and we are led to
recognize some surprising resemblances between the approaches in
different historical periods or even, mutatis mutandis, some common
structures or similar concerns. The contributions collected in this
volume present different perspectives (past and present) on mathematics
education. Some contemporary theories are taken into account and
analyzed in order to bring out and clarify the key points of the current
debates and stimulate discussion in view of future developments. Since
the topic is complex and involves different disciplinary areas, we have
invited mathematicians, historians of mathematics, psychologists,
philosophers and researchers concerned with these issues to lead us in
the exploration of the different aspects of mathematics education.
