Abstract

In the early 1950s, Caleb Gattegno, who held doctorates in both mathematics and psychology, took the initiative to organize regular meetings of internationally renowned psychologists, mathematicians, and mathematics teachers, and the International Commission for the Study and Improvement of Mathematics Teaching (CIEAEM) was born. During the 1950s, Belgians including Frédérique Lenger, Louis Jeronnez, and Willy Servais played a prominent role within CIEAEM. The work of CIEAEM also had a major influence on Belgian mathematics education. Much attention was given to the study and stimulation of students’ learning processes by concrete models and other new teaching aids, among them geoboards, mathematical films, electrical circuits, and the Cuisenaire rods. A confrontation with Bourbaki’s mathematical structures and their assumed relation with the basic structures of early mathematical thinking, as revealed by Jean Piaget, led to a call to experiment with some elements of modern mathematics at the secondary school level.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Although Choquet and Lichnerowicz were not “members” of Bourbaki, they were strongly imbued with their ideas.

  2. 2.

    Piaget’s chapter in Piaget et al. (1955) was the summary of the presentation he had made at the conference in La Rochette (1952), as mentioned in a footnote to that chapter. From the book’s preface, we know that Piaget wrote his chapter after reading the other ones.
