History of Mathematics Teaching and Learning: Achievements, Problems, Prospects
The history of mathematics education is a field of study that is both old and new. It is old because scholarly works in the field began to appear over 150 years ago. Schubring (2014a) refers to Fisch (1843), as possibly the first work on the subject published in Germany. In the United States the first dissertations on mathematics education (Jackson 1906; Stamper 1906) focused specifically on its history. For many decades later it was believed, however, that the only acceptable form of
scholarship in mathematics education was one that employed statistical methods. Kilpatrick (1992) points out that the situation began to change only in the 1980s. Accordingly, in all this time the history of mathematics education remained marginal at best, and only the past few decades finally saw renewed interest in the subject (Furinghetti 2009a). This is confirmed by the recent publication of a
two-volume work on the subject by Stanic and Kilpatrick (2003), the formation of a special topic study group devoted to the history of mathematics education at the International Congress of Mathematics Education (beginning in 2004); the publication of the International Journal for the History of Mathematics Education; the appearance of special conferences devoted to the history of mathematics education (Bjarnadóttir et al. 2009; Bjarnadóttir et al. 2012; Bjarnadóttir et al. 2015), and the publication of the Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education (Karp and Schubring 2014a), which in large part forms the basis of the present survey.
