Gender-related differences and social entanglements in mathematics education during 19th century: The subject of geometry
This paper examines mathematics teaching and learning, specifically of Geometry, in Greek girls’ schools in the 19th century. It explores how educational laws and school practice defined its teaching. Research has proved that female students received only the basics in Geometry, substantially less than what was offered to male students in all-boys’ schools. Also, the Geometry textbooks designed for girls are discussed. The problems considered in the article are at the intersection of economic, political and ideological issues. The study draws on a wide range of primary sources such as school archives and records as well as government gazettes. In particular, the school archives of the Philekpedeutiki Etaireia provide this research with a rich source of information regarding female schooling in 19th century.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Mathematical Behavior solicits original research on the learning and teaching of mathematics. We are interested especially in basic research, research that aims to clarify, in detail and depth, how mathematical ideas develop in learners. Over three decades, our experience confirms a founding premise of this journal: that mathematical thinking, hence mathematics learning as a social enterprise, is special. It is special because mathematics is special, both logically and psychologically. Logically, through the way that mathematical ideas and methods have been built, refined and organized for centuries across a range of cultures; and psychologically, through the variety of ways people today, in many walks of life, make sense of mathematics, develop it, make it their own.
