直感への抵抗 : 数学的考察におけるビジュアル教材の排除についての一考察

In this paper I highlight an essential distinction between the Euclidean deductive method and the axiomatic method and I present some implications for the pedagogy of proof in school geometry. In particular, I examine the role of visualization and visual representations in the Euclidean deductive method and the axiomatic method. Further, considering how proof is canonically taught in schools, I propose that visual representations are not merely pedagogical props. Instead, I argue that visuals are essential bricks that shape the proof process in geometry classrooms. Therefore, this paper cautions about projecting the ideal of rigorous proofs independent of visual representations to students, when the Euclidean deductive method is used for proving.
