dc.description.abstract | For one born to French peasants, Gerbert took advantage of exceptional educational opportunities: monastic training at Aurillac; mathematical studies in Spain; tutoring the Pope and Emperor in Rome. Serving Reims cathedral school for twenty-five years, Gerbert transformed its curriculum and practices; his students disseminated these innovations across Europe. Gerbert’s teaching was research: seeking out unsanctioned, classical texts; analyzing mathematical arguments; observing the sky. His students did what they learned: speaking; observing; making music. He invented instructional instruments: diagrams; an abacus; astronomical spheres. He nurtured relationships of trust among teachers and students. Gerbert’s creativity is a provocative impetus for us to face pedagogic inadequacies and develop responsive teaching that stands the test of time. | en_US |
