Abstract | There is an over-arching consensus that the use of the history of mathematics should decidedly improve the quality of mathematics teaching. Mathematicians and mathematics educators show here a rare unanimity. One deplores, however, and in a likewise general manner, the scarcity of positive examples of such a use. This paper analyses whether there are shortcomings in the--implicit or explicit--conceptual bases, which might cause the expectations not to be fulfilled. A largely common denominator of various approaches is some connection with the term "genetic." The author discusses such conceptions from the point of view of a historian of mathematics who is keen to contribute to progress in mathematics education. For this aim, he explores methodological aspects of research into the history of mathematics, based on--as one of the reviewers appreciated--his "life long research." (As Provided). |
