Podczas gdy współczesny dyskurs naukowy oraz debaty edukacyjne są przesycone nie zawsze efektywnymi pytaniami o treści i metody nauczania matematyki, fundamentalne z punktu widzenia jednostki pytania o cel, sens i wartość nauczania i uczenia się matematyki zdają się pozostawać w cieniu. W artykule podjęto temat humanistycznych aspektów matematyki. Zaproponowano przyjęcie wielowymiarowej perspektywy w badaniu zagadnień związanych z edukacją matematyczną: ontologicznej, epistemologicznej oraz aksjologicznej. Nacisk został położony na ostatni wymiar. Przywołano cele kształcenia matematycznego w ujęciu Zofii Krygowskiej, a także przedstawiono definicje i klasyfikacje wartości odgrywających istotną rolę w aktywności matematycznej zarówno ucznia, jak i nauczyciela. Artykuł kończy refleksja na temat potrzeby spojrzenia na edukację matematyczną z perspektywy aksjologiczno-teleologicznej i prowadzenia w Polsce badań z zakresu dydaktyki matematyki, które by ten wymiar uwzględniały.

While contemporary scientific discourse and educational debates are suffused with, not always effective, questions on both the content and methods of teaching mathematics, questions about the aim, meaning and value of mathematics education, fundamental from the perspective of the learner, seem to remain in the background. This article addresses the humanistic aspects of mathematics. It proposes the adoption of a multidimensional perspective in the study of issues related to mathematics education, encompassing ontological, epistemological and axiological dimensions, with an emphasis on the latter. Zofia Krygowska’s objectives of mathematics education are recalled together with definitions and classifications of the values playing an important role in mathematics related activities of students and teachers. The article concludes with a reflection on the urgent need of looking at mathematics education from the axiological and teleological perspectives, and the importance of conducting research on mathematics education in Poland that would take these dimensions into account.

In one of his latest articles, Fortus (2014), points out that “when one considers the centrality of affect to teaching and learning and the broad range of topics that are related to affect, it is concerning that it has received relatively so little attention” (Fortus 2014, p. 821). In order to support his position, he provides an overview of the research on affect in science education that has been published in several journals (JRST, SciEd, and IJSE) between 2001 and 2011. The author also hypothesizes why affect has been under-attended to by the science education research community so far. And the conclusion he arrives at is that affect remains in the shadow of researchers’ attention partly due to the existing “international trend towards standardization of schooling and high-stakes testing” (p. 822). The main purpose of this article is to emphasize that affect does play an important role also in learning mathematics and for this reason it should be considered as one of the core dimensions of mathematics education. The first part of this article provides examples of two phenomena: math anxiety and the underachievement syndrome in learning mathematics, where affective determinants are unquestionable. Subsequently, we shift the focus from these particular issues to the general description of what affect is, what meaningful concepts it contributes in the field of research on mathematics education, and how the research community can benefit from the approach it promotes. Finally, we present some new directions for researchers and teachers that may result in an increase of the quality and efficiency of both teaching and learning mathematics.
