Integrating history: research perspectives

  • Chapter
History in Mathematics Education

Part of the book series: New ICMI Study Series ((NISS,volume 6))

Abstract

The question of judging the effectiveness of integrating historical resources into mathematics teaching may not be susceptible to the research techniques of the quantitative experimental scientist. It is better handled through qualitative research paradigms such as those developed by anthropologists.
