Philosophy of Mathematics and Mathematics Education
2007In this paper we explore how the naturalistic perspective in philosophy of mathematics and the situative perspective in mathematics education, while on one level are at odds, might be reconciled by paying attention to actual mathematical practice and activity.

The philosophy of mathematics and mathematics education
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1985It is suggested that the philosophy of mathematics is relevant to mathematics education (1) because the philosophical schools of thought have a direct bearing on educational issues and (2) because new entrants to teaching may bring with them undiluted theoretical views on the nature of mathematics. The views of the following five schools of thought are

Philosophy, mathematics and education
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1989The central concern of the philosophy of mathematics is to give an account of the nature of mathematics. Views of the nature of mathematics are particularly important in the teaching of mathematics, where they can strongly influence the mathematics curriculum as taught to pupils.

The Philosophy of Mathematics Education
The philosophy of mathematics education (PoME) is a field of inquiry that pursues questions arising from the long tradition of mathematics as a school subject. An integrated area of study, PoME draws on other established disciplines such as philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of education.Catherine Henney, Kurt Stemhagen

Classics in Mathematics Education: A Philosophy for the Mathematics Teacher
The Mathematics Teacher, 1969We who are teachers of mathematics are proud. Our ancestors in the profession include some of the greatest teachers in history. We are direct descendents of Pythagoras, Euclid, and the great teachers of Plato's Academy. The students we and our forebears have trained have made history; they have assisted in the development of methods and devices that ...

Mathematical history, philosophy and education
Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2007History of mathematics occupies itself describing processes of growth and development, whereas philosophy of mathematics is concerned with questions of justification. Both play an essential role within the educational context. But there is a problem because genuine historical studies necessitate ever greater particularity whereas mathematics and ...

Mathematics in Herbart's Philosophy of Education
The Mathematics Teacher, 1939Mathematicians and mathematical philosophers have often called attention to the fact that mathematical discoveries sometimes seem to anticipate important discoveries in physics. This is usually interpreted as meaning that the universe is “rational at the core” or that it was “created by a mathematician.” Such speculations are extremely enticing; but I ...

Philosophy, mathematics and science education
2021Talking about mathematics education is no longer a novelty when we think about the work of the mathematics educator, and even more so when we analyse that this work is as old as educational action, and as old as the teaching of mathematics. What automatically links this concept to the history of mathematics, and consequently to the epistemological work
