The role of creation in the didactical traditions in Hungary

Abstract

. In the didactics of mathematics, a lot of such research appeared in the past twenty-thirty years that consider both mathematics and mathematics education as a cultural activity [20]. In this approach, didactical texts and social space are carriers of beliefs created about mathematics education. Similarly, the investigation of beliefs has strengthened in the past two decades [33]. In our paper, we examine what relationship appears between the beliefs of the Hungarian didactic tradition existing in written texts or personal contacts, and those of Hungarian mathematics teachers. To carry it out, we use means of cultural history and a questionnaire.
