Agora que a minha filhinha está sujeita aos desmandos de um prof. que tudo faz para desmotivar os alunos, resolvi investigar um pouco porque é que no ensino da matemática existe uma tão extensa fauna de quadúpedes.
E encontrei esta pérola:
Euclidean mathematics do help the mathematical establishment to protect their field from an onslaught of new voices and participants.
Mathematical rigor has an inward-looking role of shoring up the process of knowledge creation, but this shoring-up cannot be divorced from its necessary effect of limiting and regulating access both to the tangible institutional grounds of the discipline and to the epistemological grounds on which knowledge claims can be made.
The usual method is more than merely a restriction of cognitive possibilities.
It is also a restriction of participatory possibilities in general.
