FED – Prof. Gert Felix SCHUBRING Visited FED and Delivered a Series of Lectures
教育學院 ─ Gert Felix SCHUBRING教授到訪澳門大學教育學院並開展系列講座
On 10 and 12 December 2024, Prof. Gert Felix SCHUBRING visited the Faculty of Education (FED) at the University of Macau (UM) and delivered a series of lectures on the theme of “Mathematics, Society, and Education.” Prof. Schubring is a recipient of the 2019 Hans Freudenthal Medal from ICMI and has made remarkable contributions to the field of mathematics education history over four decades. He pioneered research that emphasized the importance of social context in studying mathematics education history and founded the International Conference on History of Mathematics Education (ICHME).
Prof. Schubring presented two lectures titled “Debates about the Universalism of Mathematics – Local Origins, Global Spread, Ethnomathematics, Colonialism Claims” and “The Conceptual Problems in the Understanding of the Historical Evolution of the Notion of Negative Number.” During these lectures, he explored the social contexts related to the development of mathematics and the relations between mathematical practices and epistemological stances in differing mathematical cultures. In addition, Prof. Schubring visited the UM faculty collection room, where Dr. Jianzhong WU, the University Librarian, warmly received him.
Prof. Schubring’s visit and lectures not only deepened the understanding of mathematics education history among mathematics educators and researchers but also fostered international academic exchanges, providing invaluable insights and inspiration to the faculty and students of FED.

2024年12月10日及12日，Gert Felix SCHUBRING教授到訪澳門大學教育學院並開展主題為“數學、社會、教育”的系列講座。Schubring 教授是 ICMI 2019 年 Hans Freudenthal 獎章的得主，四十多年來在數學教育史領域做出了卓越的貢獻。他開創了強調社會背景對研究數學教育史重要性的研究，並創辦了國際數學教育史會議 (ICHME)。
Schubring 教授以“探析數學的普遍主義 ─ 本地起源、全球傳播、民族數學及殖民主義主張”和“負數概念在歷史演變中的概念問題”為題開展兩場講座，分別探討了與數學發展相關的社會背景以及不同數學文化中的數學實踐與認知論立場之間的關係。此外，Schubring 教授參觀了澳大圖書館古籍室，受到館長吳建中博士的熱情接待。
Schubring 教授的到訪和講座不僅深化了數學教育工作者和研究者對數學教育史研究的認識，還促進了國際學術交流，為澳門大學教育學院的師生提供了寶貴的學術啟發。
