Abstract

This discussion explored the integration of creative thinking pedagogy and the anthropological theory of didactics in university-level algebra education, emphasizing the importance of understanding the perspectives of both learners and teachers. The work began by highlighting the necessity of considering these viewpoints to create effective and responsive educational experiences. We then focused on designing classroom sessions for algebra, blending creative thinking with cultural and historical contexts. These sessions included applying creative approaches to group theory, exploring algebraic topology through innovative means, and understanding ring theory in practical scenarios like cryptography. Feedback from both learners and teachers was generally positive, with students appreciating the engaging and practical aspects and teachers recognizing the benefits of creative pedagogies. However, challenges in implementation, such as resource constraints and the need for professional development, were also identified. Suggestions for improvement included deeper content exploration, enhanced use of technology, and better alignment of creative teaching methods with assessment strategies.

Abstract

The Anthropological Theory of Didactics (ATD) provides a lens through which knowledge is viewed in its sociocultural context. Originally rooted in mathematics education, its application has expanded to diverse disciplines, including engineering. This article delves into the intersection of fluid mechanics, a crucial branch of engineering, with ATD. Core tenets of ATD, such as the cultural context of knowledge, praxeologies, and didactic transposition, are explored in relation to engineering principles. The emphasis is on contextual understanding, problem-solving, collaboration, tool usage, and continuous improvement. Fluid mechanics, vital in areas like aerospace and civil engineering, is intertwined with ATD to address student misconceptions. The article proposes five activities to effectively integrate ATD in fluid mechanics education, drawing from daily life, historical contexts, and traditional tools. These activities aim to bridge theoretical concepts with tangible experiences, fostering a comprehensive understanding of fluid mechanics within cultural contexts.
