Περίληψη

The purpose of this article has been to discuss some issues and problems concerning the study of the history of Mathematics Education in Greece as well as to present the current status of this research area in this country. The first part of the article is concerned with the value of studying the history of Mathematics Education to broaden the basis on which we form judgments and plan strategies for Mathematics Education today. The second part presents the Greek research experience in this area. The third part deals with the most considerable problems that the historiography of Mathematics Education faces and in the fourth part some major research questions are suggested for future study. The key idea that the future perspectives are based on is that the develop¬ments of mathematics education have not only to be viewed within a changing mathematical context, but also within the relevant socio economical, political and educational setting. Therefore, the problems of the history of Mathematics Education does not lie wholly within the domain of mathematics but one needs to study them within its broader historical context to see how Mathematics Education in Greece had interacted with, and responded to, general social and educational changes.
