Instrumentation: tool use in mathematics education
A research day at Leeds University
Thursday, 25th March 2004

'Instrumentation' refers to the transformation of an artefact into a tool=20
for doing mathematics. It is used to describe largely French mathematics=20
education research which looks at 'instrumental genesis' and the dialectics=
=20
between conceptual and technical work in mathematics. Instrumentation=20
started with research on students using computer algebra systems but an=20
intention of this day is to widen the focus to other forms of computing=20
technology.

Speakers
Mich=E8le Artigue, Univerit=E9 Denis Diderot (Paris 7), France
Paul Drijvers, Freudenthal Institute, The Netherlands
Ken Ruthven, University of Cambridge, England
John Monaghan, University of Leeds, England

All talks will be about 30 minutes with about 30 minutes for discussion.=20
The day is not designed purely as an introductory session - the intention=20
is to take ideas forward. To aid this a paper from each of the speakers=20
will be made available prior to the day to all participants.

Venue: Room 8.90 (EC Stoner building)
Centre for Studies in Science and Mathematics Education
University of Leeds
Leeds LS2 9JT
