Didactical contract and responsiveness to didactical contract: a theoretical framework for enquiry into students' creativity in mathematics

Original language description

One of the manifestations of learning is the students' ability to come up with original solutions to new problems. This ability is one of the criteria by which the teacher may assess whether the student grasped the taught mathematics. Obviously, a teacher can never teach the ability to invent new solutions (at least not directly): he/she can ask for it, expect it, encourage it, but cannot require it. This is one of the fundamental paradoxes of the whole didactical relationship, which Guy Brousseau (1997) modelled in one of the best known concepts in didactics of mathematics: the didactical contract. The teacher cannot be confident that the student will learn exactly what the teacher intended to teach and hence the student must re-create it on the basisof what he/she already knows. In this paper, the importance and the role of situations affording mathematical creativity (in the sense of production of original solutions to unusual situations) are demonstrated.
