‘Whys’ and ‘hows’ of using the newspaper preparation method in teaching the philosophy of mathematics

Abstract

his study aims to suggest a new method to enrich the standard of the philosophy of mathematics course. The newspaper preparation method was applied in the same author's study about the history of mathematics course, and successful results were obtained. It is clear how much the history and philosophy of mathematics courses have in common. In this respect, the idea of trying to teach the philosophy of mathematics course with the same method was considered. Therefore, this paper describes a presentation teaching the philosophy of mathematics course with the newspaper preparation method delivered at the British Society for Research into Learning Mathematics Conference as an example.
