Reflexiones sobre los métodos de enseñanza de las matemáticas en la antigua Grecia y nuestros métodos

Resumo

This article seeks to investigate mathematical teaching methods in ancient Greece, where it is possible to easily observe a pattern of pedagogical behavior, namely, mathematics teaching methods, where the role of visualization, orality and imagination were essential for the development educational and scientific of the citizens of the polis. When we make a quick comparison between the teaching methods that govern our current education and those that governed Greek mathematics, we can observe that the current models have relegated the senses and imagination. Current teaching models are directly related to a Cartesian culture that favors a movement of isolation of the individual, a movement that proves to be antagonistic to the teaching movements used by the ancient Greeks.
