The Constitution of the « Milieu » During an Inquiry Process: An Analysis in Terms of Question-Answer and Media-Milieu Dialectics

Abstract

This paper proposes to analyze the internal assessment within the standard level mathematics course in the International Baccalaureate (IB). This written and individual piece of work entitled “Mathematical Exploration” that each student must produce should involve an investigation in a field of mathematics. This analysis uses the tools of the Anthropological theory of didactics (ATD), in particular the Herbartian scheme and the dialectics of questions/answers and media/milieu. We make the hypothesis that these two dialectics play a crucial role in conducting this exploration and without these the work would be reduced to “copy-pasting” information from the media.

    The objective of this conference that took place in April 1974 was to review the present state of the IB experiment in order to determine its viability, its long-term extension and consider its future developments and procedures.
