Are we all mathematicians? What does this mean in us? How related?
Is this reality with the construction of our identity? What link exists in the processof the development of thoughtful and critical thinking?
our role?What do we educate and are we educated for? As educators and learners, what is
educational fact in itself and the looks that are fixed on it, understanding that itThese questions arouse the desire to investigate and reflect deeply on the We find found with the development of society.
Trying to also understand the
education in relation to reality, reflecting on its essence and values. The beings
humans are simultaneously biological, psychic and social beings and in the transit of
our existence through educational processes not passively but in a way
active, building and deconstructing, reflecting, thinking ...
It is then where the need to understand that the educational action is
focused on the human and its entire development. Specifically in the area of
Mathematics arises the need to reflect on, how human is this discipline? ,
Are we alien? Or in the end there is nothing more human than the construction of
mathematical thinking and its application in our near and distant reality.
"Philosophy springs before all science where it awakens men" (THE PHILOSOPHY,
Karl Jaspers)
The problems, so treated in the area of science and philosophy, involve situations that they make us deliberate, investigate, reflect, in the forms or strategies ... In mathematics, they often set us an objective, give us information and Arouses the desire to meet. Therefore when we are facing a problem, we recognize what we are and we fully focus on their consideration with their Different edges Now, since we are oral, inquisitive and curious subjects, mathematicians, that we measure, count and try to understand the world, so that ... so that maths? If we all have a mathematician inside us, why is he there? To count and measure, to develop logical thinking ... To help us "see" the world of a more human form. The question that focuses on "serving" important issues, due to that we can concentrate on finding and problematizing practical “uses”, the applications of the algorithms that we learn in our educational trajectory or focus on the emerging desire to feel that everything should serve, the intent to see in all a utility projected many times to the future, “let's study because we are going to "Serve" for the future, let's study because we're going to "need" it when we're adults and We need a profession. But at the end of the day, how you determine me, It goes through, it is up to me "individually" and to everyone as a society. How do we see "The School "? According to Kohan, “It is a time and a space for the formation of the student's gaze, so that he looks at the world suspending and desecrating the social way of looking and paying attention to the world in order to experience it as if it were the first time, through the study and exercise that are done in the school "(" Does the school make philosophy or does philosophy make a school? ", Walter Omar Kohan) We also need a commitment from the school with the present of each person, and that we enjoy this experience that allows us to grow, build ourselves and de-build us issues of law, full, critical and freer, content because we like what we are learning, we find it interesting and that It does not contradict our future.
