Abstract

The 1960s were characterized by a wide range of activities aimed at assisting the actual implementation of modern mathematics into the classroom: experimentation with different target groups, related to the development of new curricula, and large-scale programs of teacher re-education. After a first experiment, Georges Papy, a professor of algebra, was consulted, his task being to promote the quality of the experimental actions. Papy engaged himself completely and soon became the architect and undisputed leader of the modern mathematics reform in Belgium. He designed and carried out audacious experiments, developed new programs and teaching materials, and engaged mathematics teachers through large-scale in-service education programs. Papy’s actions were coordinated by the newly founded Belgian Centre for Mathematics Pedagogy, of which he became the chairman. A very different approach to the modernization of the teaching of mathematics was advocated by Paul Libois whose collaborators conducted their own experiments at the École Decroly.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A set with exactly one element.

  2. 2.

    In French “la mathématique,” singular, refers to the unified (modern) mathematics, in contrast to “les mathématiques,” plural, referring to (traditional) mathematics as an umbrella term for several subdisciplines with little or no interrelationships.

  3. 3.

    There may occur some confusion regarding references to publications by Frédérique Lenger and Georges Papy, wife and husband from October 1, 1960. From the 1960s, Georges typically signed his publications as “Papy,” while Frédérique, after marriage, used her husband’s surname (and signed “Frédérique Papy”) or signed with only her first name “Frédérique.” The lists of publications from both authors can be found at http://www.rkennes.be/
