The Right

In the submitted study the problem of the formation of financial literacy of students at informatics lessons and relevant training of future informatics teachers is considered. Financial literacy is understood as a set of basic knowledge in the field of finance, banking, insurance, as well as budgeting for personal finances that allow a person to choose the right financial product or service, soberly assess and take risks that may arise during the use of these products, correctly accumulate savings and identify doubtful (fraudulent) investment schemes. The authors conclude that successful development of meaningful lines of the course of financial literacy requires integration of a few school subjects, such as mathematics, history, informatics, social science and literature. The role of modern informatics teacher in the formation of financial literacy of students is great. Therefore, in the training of a future informatics teacher, it should be paid the attention to issues related to the study of elements of financial literacy in informatics lessons. In order to solve the problem, the authors propose to use the special course “Basics of work in 1С:Enterprise”, which is implemented at Penza State University. The article contains a program of the course and the methodological recommendations for its implementation.

Resumo: Neste artigo apresentamos os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre os livros de minicursos de história da matemática publicados pela Sociedade Brasileira de História da Matemática no período de 2001 e 2017, cujos conteúdos matemáticos foram destinados aos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental. Nosso objetivo foi identificar e caracterizar as sugestões propostas nesses livros para as ações didáticas do professor de Matemática desse nível escolar. Para operacionalização da pesquisa, inicialmente realizamos um levantamento dos livros de minicursos classificando-os em três tendências de pesquisa em História da Matemática, para selecionar somente aqueles voltados à história para o ensino da matemática. Em seguida identificamos e caracterizamos os livros com conteúdos dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental. Os resultados apontaram que, dos 101 livros de minicursos, 21,78% propõem abordagens centradas em conteúdos relativos ao Ensino Fundamental dos anos finais que podem ser utilizadas com vistas a facilitar as organizações e ações didáticas do professor nas suas aulas de matemática.Palavras-chave: Livros de minicursos; História para o ensino da matemática; Anos Finais; Ensino Fundamental. Abstract: In this article we present the results of a research on the Mathematics History short-course books published by the Brazilian Society of Mathematics History from 2001 to 2017 whose contents were aimed at Middle School grades. Our objective was to identify and characterize the suggestions proposed in these books for the didactic actions of Mathematics teachers at this school level. To operate the research, we carried out, at first, a survey of the short-course books, sorting them into three research tendencies in Mathematics History, in order to select only those that dealt with History for teaching Mathematics. Then we identified and characterized the books which included contents for Middle School. The results indicated that, from the 101 short-course books, 21,78% propose approaches centered around contents pertaining to Middle School which can be used to facilitate the teacher's organization and didactic actions in their Mathematics classes.Keywords: Short-course books; History for teaching Mathematics; Middle School; Basic education.

The World

In the years 1535-1555 a group of Italian authors rejected much of Italian Renaissance learning. Humanists in the Quattrocento had wished to educate man for the active life. During the sixteenth century humanist education became a broad pattern of learning stressing grammar, rhetoric, logic, mathematics, history, and literature, based on both the Latin classics and vernacular models like Petrarch. Its purpose was the training of the young patrician to serve his family, city, or prince in the affairs of the world. But a group of critics mocked liberal studies, spurned the classical heritage, rejected authorities like Cicero and Pietro Bembo, ridiculed humanists, thought that history was widely misused, denied the utility of knowledge, and argued that man should withdraw into solitude. Nicolò Franco of Benevento (1515-1570), Lodovico Domenichi of Piacenza (1515-1564), Ortensio Lando of Milan (c. 1512-c. 1553), Giulio Landi of Piacenza (1500-1579), and Anton Francesco Doni of Florence (1513-1574) reached maturity in the fourth decade of the sixteenth century and expressed these critical themes in their many books published from 1533 to the early years of the 1550s.

History of mathematics is rarely used in Hungarian mathematics education, and even more rarely goes beyond anecdotic mentions of history. In this paper I will argue that despite of this phenomenon, a historical perspective on mathematics, in a more general way, plays a crucial role in a specific Hungarian tradition of mathematics education, called felfedeztető matematikaoktatás (“teaching mathematics by guided discovery”). I will revisit the epistemological background of this approach, analyse the role of history in this view on the nature of mathematics and its teaching, and illustrate the analysis by some examples from written sources and nowadays teaching practice. Classification: A30, D20, D40. Keywords: History of mathematics, history in mathematics education, guided discovery in mathematics education.
