The Russian National Subcommission of ICMI and the Mathematics Education Reform Movement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
National Subcommissions of ICMI and their Role in the Reform of Mathematics Education

Abstract

In this chapter, the history of the formation and functioning of the Russian National Subcommission is examined against the background of, and in connection with, the whole reform movement in mathematics education that developed in Russia and, even more broadly, the movement that sought political changes in the country. The following topics are addressed: the formation of the subcommission, the subcommission’s reports, Russian participation in international conferences and congresses, Russian commissions associated with reforms in mathematics education, and National Congresses of mathematics teachers. In writing this chapter, archival materials were used, as well as numerous articles from the journals and newspapers of the period.

Notes

  1. 1.

    All translations from Russian are by the author.

  2. 2.

    In other fields, too, there occurred a politicization of seemingly altogether incongruous material. The great Russian theater director Stanislavskii (1929) described a performance of Ibsen’s play An Enemy of the People (Dr. Stockmann), which turned into a political demonstration: “During that restless political time – before the first revolution – the feeling of protest was strong in society... A revolutionary play was needed – and Stockmann was transformed into one” (p. 428).

  3. 3.

    Bychkov (1975) deciphers the byline: the author’s name is Polyakov.

  4. 4.

    Here and below, in references to brochures, transliteration of names is given in two variants, following current transliteration rules in English and also in forms employed previously for publication in French.

  5. 5.

    We cite the published brochures here. In the list published in L’Enseignement Mathématique (Commission Internationale 1920–1921), specific parts of these brochures are listed.

  6. 6.

    Polish mathematician and public figure. For his biography, see http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Biographies/Dickstein.html

  7. 7.

    It should be noted, however, that the decisions were by no means always unanimous, as the publications that will be discussed below make clear (Volkov 1916), and moreover, that certain printed plans represented the opinion of a minority.

  8. 8.

    The author of this paper has not yet been able to locate his KGB file. Representatives at the St. Petersburg directorate of the FSB (Federal Security Service) have told me that the file is not in their possession.
