Abstract:Abstract Historically studying representations of math-centered classrooms shows us arrangements revealing underlying teaching methodologies, learning theories, and technological innovations. This iconographic study draws on images in textbooks, magazines or collectors' collections from medieval times to the mid-twentieth century. Using an interpretative paradigm, involving historical and documentary research, we look for the perspectives of teaching and learning mathematics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
