ICMI 2005 AWARDS -
The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction
(ICMI) of the International Mathematical Union has
announced recipients of its 2005 awards. Felix Klein
Medal - The second Felix Klein Medal of ICMI is
awarded to Professor Ubiratan D’Ambrosio, Brasil. This
distinction acknowledges the role Ubiratan D’Ambrosio
has played in the development of mathematics education
as a field of research and development throughout the
world, above all in Latin America. It also recognises
Ubiratan D’Ambrosio’s pioneering role in the development
of research perspectives which are sensitive to the
characteristics of social, cultural, and historical
contexts in which the teaching and learning of
mathematics take place, as well as his insistence on
providing quality mathematics education to all, not just
to a privileged segment of society. His role in
promoting mathematics education research and development
in Latin America, both as regards priorities and content
and as regards institutional and organisational
frameworks, can hardly be over-estimated. His focus on
providing graduate and postgraduate programmes for young
researchers exemplifies his contribution.
