Chrysoula Choutou, « Connections and tensions between mathematics and visual art classrooms », HAL-SHS : sciences de l'éducation, ID : 10670/1.y3iehx
This paper adopts communities of practice and boundary crossing, and examines connections and tensions between emerging practices in mathematics teaching (MT) and visual art teaching (AT) in the context of two secondary art-schools. I illustrate my findings through an art classroom episode where the task is the creation of a costume. Several mathematical practices common to mathematics and art classrooms are identified. Also, tensions regarding tools/resources, teaching practices and epistemological content dimensions. The emerging practices imply an interplay between AT and MT aspects. They generate possibilities and constraints for math and art integration for benefiting students learning, and possibly highlight and emerging boundaries that need to be crossed.
