Our Civilizing Mission
Our Civilizing Mission is both an exploration of colonial education and a response to current anxieties about the foundations of the ‘humanities’. Focusing on the example of Algeria, it asks what can be learned by treating colonial education not just as an example of colonialism but as a provocative, uncomfortable example of education.
How Computers Entered the Classroom, 1960–2000
In the history of education, the question of how computers were introduced into European classrooms has so far been largely neglected. This edited volume strives to address this gap. The contributions shed light on the computerization of education from a historical perspective, by attending closely to the different actors involved – such as politicians, computer manufacturers, teachers, and students –, political rationales and ideologies, as well as financial, political, or organizational structures and relations. The case studies highlight differences in political and economic power, as well as in ideological reasoning and the priorities set by different stakeholders in the process of introducing computers into education. However, the contributions also demonstrate that simple cold war narratives fail to capture the complex dynamics and entanglements in the history of computers as an educational technology and a subject taught in schools. The edited volume thus provides a comprehensive historical understanding of the role of education in an emerging digital society.
Modern Mathematics
The international New Math developments between about 1950 through 1980, are regarded by many mathematics educators and education historians as the most historically important development in curricula of the twentieth century. It attracted the attention of local and international politicians, of teachers, and of parents, and influenced the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels—kindergarten to college graduate—in many nations. After garnering much initial support it began to attract criticism. But, as Bill Jacob and the late Jerry Becker show in Chapter 17, some of the effects became entrenched. This volume, edited by Professor Dirk De Bock, of Belgium, provides an outstandin...
“Dig Where You Stand” 7
The history of mathematics education is an interdisciplinary research area that is experiencing a significant development and this book presents recent work in this area. This book is the result of the seventh conference ICHME (International Conference on the History of Mathematics Education) that took place at Erbacher Hof, Mainz (Germany) from 19th to 23rd of September 2022. Nowadays, the history of education is of the utmost importance for assessing the general development of the educational system(s) in which mathematics education occurs. Usually, the history of education is confined to history within a given civilization, country or nation. However, the quality of the research for a given nation is enhanced when situated among various specific cases, and comparative studies provide essential tools to broaden the perspectives to an international level. Moreover, mathematics, as a school discipline, has always functioned at the crossroads between general education and professional training, thus relating its teaching history to professional working environments as well. The 24 chapters in this book reflect this wide area of research.
Réapprendre à lire. De la querelle des méthodes à
La controverse récurrente autour de l'usage des méthodes " globale " ou " syllabique " dans l'apprentissage de la lecture dissimule des choix pédagogiques plus profonds, qui ont durablement compromis la démocratisation de l'un des savoirs premiers les plus déterminants pour la réussite scolaire ultérieure. Ce livre montre comment, au nom d'une conception savante et idéalisée de la " vraie lecture ", les aspects pratiques et techniques de cet apprentissage fondamental ont progressivement été déniés et délégitimés. Il décrit la manière dont les enseignants ont été dépossédés de leur savoir pédagogique et ont peu à peu tendu à reporter sur les enfants eux-mêmes et leu...
Internationaliser l'éducation
Fondé sur une riche documentation archivistique, cet ouvrage montre comment l'éducation est devenue l'un des grands enjeux de la décolonisation de l'Afrique.
Le Monde des mathématiques
Les mathématiques sont aujourd’hui l’objet de toutes les attentions, dans l’éducation et la recherche, dans les besoins d’innovation technologique, et dans la compétition économique. Les travaux se sont multipliés pour révéler les pénalités infligées aux sociétés où s’affaiblit le maniement des savoirs et des informations associés aux mathématiques. Dans un monde surexposé aux outils algorithmiques, la numératie devient un enjeu civique majeur. Pourtant, le fossé se creuse, en France, entre la formation des élèves, qui perd en efficacité et en équité et la valeur encore élevée de la recherche mathématique ; alors que d’autres nations réagissent pour éd...
Penser le curriculum scolaire
L’auteur rend compte d’une position singulière dans le champ de la recherche en sciences de l’éducation mais encore trop peu visible : celle qui vise à croiser les approches sociologiques, didactiques et historiques des contenus d’enseignement. Dans ce contexte, elle analyse les contenus enseignés principalement au collège et au lycée, en faisant le lien avec le parcours de l’élève. C’est ce que l’on appelle le «curriculum scolaire». Pour étayer son propos, elle s’appuie sur de nombreux exemples sortant des programmes scolaires classiques comme l’enseignement moral et civique ou les programmes interdisciplinaires, offrant ainsi une ouverture vers l’innovation scolaire et les outils pour y parvenir.
