Point Of Departure

Learning from history does not automatically mean that history prevents us from repeating mistakes. We cannot see what happens in the future, even with the most profound knowledge of the past. Although it is not possible to make such causal connections, the study of structural components, which recur and make up patterns, can certainly contribute to sharpening political judgement. How can the teaching of the history of mathematics education then help to support an understanding of possible courses of individual actions without indoctrination through the political or even ideologically influenced production of time references? The paper presents the concept of a lecture course in mathematics education, held at the University of Mainz. We take as a point of departure the everyday experience of our prospective mathematics teacher with various current education reforms and present seemingly similar processes during former reforms. Here we limit ourselves to reforms during the 19th and 20th century.

Do So

The advent of the computer has served as a catalyst to the turmoil in mathematics and mathematics education during the past decade. Mathematicians have run the gamut from 1950 when only a few innovative souls ventured to use computers to explore solutions of mathematical relationships to the present time when a majority of those who make extensive use of mathematics do so by means of a computer. Debates over whether the computer influences the essence of mathematics would not be difficult to locate, but there is no debating that the use of mathematics, now and in the future, is directly related to computer technology.
