Steps towards a New Epistemology. Chevallard, Y. 2007.
abstract   bibtex   
This talk will centre on a number of inadequacies that beset mathematics education in present-day societies. In the author’s view, the basic obstacles lie in – or can be expressed in terms of – the epistemological “regime” of the knowledge imparted by most scholastic institutions, as well as in its main social, cultural, and political correlates. It is therefore an essential responsibility – though not a monopoly! – of researchers in didactics to contribute to the advent of a new school epistemology, more in tune with the needs of our time – a crucial pursuit on which this presentation simply aims to shed some light.
