| Description: | This paper aims to demonstrate the relevance of the theoretical and methodological tools of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD) in the field of the history of mathematics education, particularly for the analysis of textbooks written for the mathematical education of prospective teachers. Research on the history of disciplines cannot dispense with research on textbooks. When such research focuses on teacher education institutions, specific tools are needed to analyse the mathematics to be taught and the mathematics for teaching as they are presented in textbooks. The theoretical and methodological tools of the ATD have been widely used in research on school textbooks within the field of mathematics education. Here, we argue for their suitability in the specific domain of historical research, drawing on studies conducted at the University of Murcia (Spain) over the last two decades. These examples allow us to draw several conclusions. One is that the social and institutional perspective of the ATD, together with its scientific character, provides researchers with concepts and analytical tools particularly well suited to textbook analysis, not only in the didactic domain but also in the historical one. Another is that, when dealing with textbooks for teacher education, it is necessary to consider the dialectic between the two reference institutions — teacher education institutions and schools — with regard to the content at stake. |
