Integrating the anthropological theory of didactics in multivariate calculus education: Challenges, pedagogical shifts, and innovative activities

ABSTRACT


INTRODUCTION
The anthropological theory of didactics (ATD) is a distinctive approach to the study of mathematics education.It seeks to understand how mathematical knowledge is developed, transmitted, and institutionalized within various cultures.Unlike traditional didactic theories that focus primarily on the teaching-learning process, ATD delves deeper into the socio-cultural dimensions of mathematical practices, considering the historical and cultural evolution of mathematical knowledge (Chevallard, 1999).
ATD was primarily developed by Yves Chevallard in the 20 th century (Chevallard, 1992).Chevallard (1992) introduced the concept of 'praxeologies'-a combination of types of tasks and the techniques, technology, and theory used to solve them.In this framework, mathematical activities are seen as praxeologies as they encompass both the practical tasks students engage in and the theoretical knowledge they acquire.
The intricate tapestry of multivariate calculus education is woven from multiple threads-cognitive development theories, innovative visualization tools, real-world contextualization, active learning methodologies, and effective feedback mechanisms.Intertwining these threads adeptly is a relevant topic for educators as they can craft a learning experience that ensures students to understand multivariate calculus and apply its principles effectively in diverse contexts.The challenges in multivariable calculus are multifaceted, encompassing conceptual, visual, algebraic, theoretical, and applicative aspects.It is important to recognize these challenges as the first step towards crafting pedagogical strategies that can support students in their journey through this advanced mathematical landscape.
Certainly, the mentioned challenges in multivariable calculus require a multi-displicinar and open theory given the distinct nature of them.Given this condition, we consider ATD that offers a comprehensive lens through which the teaching and learning of multivariate calculus can be examined.ATD integrates aspects like the praxeological, institutional, socio-cultural, and historical dimensions, so that educators can craft a more enriched and contextualized learning experience for students.
In this text, we provide a general methodology to apply ATD principles in defining class activities connecting with multivariate calculus.This methodology aims to address the challenges students face in multivariate calculus by offering a structured approach to class activity design.The proposed activities intend to focus mainly on visualization of concepts, real-world applications and presentation of topics in a familiar and easy-going form.In doing so, our aim is to provide educators with actionable recommendations, grounded in both time-tested theories and constructivist educational contexts, to enhance the teaching and learning experience in multivariate calculus.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
A pivotal idea in ATD is the significance of institutions in shaping mathematical practices.Institutions, in this context, are not just educational establishments but also include societal structures, cultural norms, and historical contexts that influence how mathematics is perceived and practiced (Chevallard, 2006).These institutions play a crucial role in determining what is considered valid mathematical knowledge and how it is transmitted across generations.
ATD emphasizes the importance of understanding mathematical practices in their cultural and historical context.The study of the evolution of mathematical ideas and how they are embedded in different cultures are relevant topics for educators as they can gain insights into the diverse ways in which mathematical knowledge is constructed and valued (Barbé et al., 2005).The recognition of mathematical practices, along with their deeply root in cultural and institutional contexts, can help educators in the design of more culturally relevant curricula.The praxeological nature of mathematical activities is as well relevant as educators can better align teaching methods with students' practical experiences and theoretical understandings (Ruthven, 2007).
Based on the mentioned general ideas, ATD offers a fresh perspective on mathematics education by situating mathematical practices within broader socio-cultural and historical contexts.In addition, ATD provides a systematic approach for the understanding of the intricate interplay among institutions, cultures, and mathematical knowledge.Under this scope, educators and researchers can work towards more inclusive and effective educational practices that consider the contextual variables of relevance in the education.
Multivariate calculus stands as a pinnacle in the world of advanced mathematical education, diving into the complexities and nuances of functions spanning multiple variables.A comprehensive grasp of this multifaceted subject demands a pedagogical approach that shall consider all variables related with class sessions and the socio-cultural context.Indeed, it is important for students to learn outside of their class boundaries promoting open-air and real-world context of applications.And this aspect is even more important in Engineering studies, where mathematics are mainly oriented as a tool for modeling and effectively transforming the reality.
Historical educational theorists have laid the groundwork for understanding the cognitive requirements for such advanced mathematical subjects.For instance, the classical Piaget's theory (Piaget & Inhelder, 1969) posits that students must have matured into the formal operational stage of cognitive development to grapple with and internalize the abstractions (and this actually the case of multivariate calculus).But cognitive maturity alone is not sufficient.Drawing from Vygotsky's (1978) socio-cultural theory, the role of interpersonal interactions, cultural tools, and societal constructs becomes evident.In the context of multivariate calculus, this could translate to group-based problem-solving sessions or harnessing technology as a bridge to understanding.
Another important issue in multivariate calculus is related with the visualization of the multidimensional space given the fact that mathematical concepts are introduced in two and three dimensions (even further, in higher dimensions depending on the degree of abstraction).Hence, this multi-dimensional nature brings to the forefront the crucial role of visualization in teaching and learning of multivariate calculus.Tall's (1992) research underscores the undeniable role of visual thinking in the realm of advanced mathematics.Yet, as Zimmerman and Cunningham (1991) have noted, many students encounter barriers when attempting to visualize the multidimensional aspects of the subject.To adress this challenge, modern technology offers a promising answer.Software platforms such as Mathematica or MATLAB serve as powerful allies, facilitating visualization and also enhancing students' capabilities to tackle and dissect complex problems (Duffin & Simpson, 2000).
The abstract nature of multivariate calculus can sometimes feel detached from tangible reality, potentially leading to dwindling student interest.This is where real-world applications, as highlighted by Simon and Blume (1994), come into play.Educators can enhance the understanding of multivariate calculus by connecting them with fields ranging from economics to engineering.But this connection shall be performed in a systematic form to ensure the adequate anchoring of abstract concepts in tangible scenarios, bolstering both understanding and engagement.In this scenario ATD plays a significant role to help educators.
In contemporary educational paradigms, the emphasis on active learning has gained significant traction.Traditional lecturebased approaches are increasingly being complemented, if not replaced, by methods that prioritize student activity and engagement.In the sake of engaging a complete view, we provide some relevant previous works.The list of works mentioned is not exhaustive and only introduced for illustrative purpose to state the relevance of advanced mathematics teaching and learning in current educational research.Within the context of multivariate calculus, inquiry-based learning (IBL), as highlighted by Laursen et al. (2014), emerges as a particularly potent strategy.Here, students are not passive recipients of knowledge but active explorers, delving into problems, seeking solutions, and in the process, deepening their understanding.Feedback and assessment are the cornerstones of the educational process, serving as mirrors reflecting student understanding.Sadler's (1989) work underscores the transformative power of timely and constructive feedback.Indeed, offering insights into current performance levels, delineating the desired outcomes, and providing actionable steps, are key aspects for educators to guide students towards mastery.
In this context, ATD provides an intricate framework for understanding the teaching and learning processes.As previously discussed, we recall that its application to the didactics of multivariate calculus allows educators and researchers to delve deeper into the socio-cultural and institutional dimensions that shape the teaching and learning of this complex mathematical domain.
In the following lines, some ideas connecting ATD with multivariate calculus are further explored.For this use the classical notation of ATD.

Praxeologies in Multivariate Calculus
At the core of ATD is the concept of 'praxeologies' (Chevallard, 1999).In the realm of multivariate calculus, this involves analyzing the types of tasks students engage in, the techniques they employ, the technologies they use, and the theories that underpin their understanding.For example, when students are introduced to the concept of partial derivatives, the task is to understand how a function changes with respect to one variable while holding others constant.The technique might involve the application of specific differentiation rules, the technology might encompass graphing tools to visualize these changes, and the theory would be grounded in foundational calculus concepts.

Institutional Influences
ATD emphasizes the role institutions play in shaping mathematical practices (Chevallard, 2006).In multivariate calculus, this could be reflected in how curriculum standards dictate the scope and sequence of topics, how textbooks present material, or how university entrance exams prioritize certain concepts.These institutional decisions can profoundly influence what is considered essential knowledge in multivariate calculus and how it is transmitted to students.

Socio-Cultural Dimensions
Drawing from ATD, one can recognize that multivariate calculus, like all mathematical practices, is deeply embedded within a broader socio-cultural context (Barbé et al., 2005).This context influences not only the content but also the pedagogical approaches adopted.For instance, in cultures, where collaborative learning is emphasized, multivariate calculus might be taught through group problem-solving sessions.In contrast, in contexts that prioritize individual achievement, the teaching might lean more towards lectures and individual assessments.

Evolution of Knowledge
ATD framework also encourages educators to consider the historical evolution of mathematical knowledge (Chevallard, 1999).Multivariate calculus, with its roots in the works of mathematicians like Lagrange and Hamilton, has undergone significant refinements over the centuries.The proper understanding of this historical trajectory can provide students with a richer appreciation of the subject and its applications in various fields, from physics to economics.

Study & Research Activities & Study & Research Paths
Study and research activities (SRA) and study and research paths (SRP) are critical concepts in modern educational theory as they provide a means for emphasizing the integration of research activities into the learning process.
SRA focuses on engaging students in research projects and study endeavors relevant to their field.This method is grounded in the belief that active participation in research promotes critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding of subject matter.As Healey and Jenkins (2009) suggest, the involvement of students in research activities not only enhances their learning experience but also prepares them for challenges in their professional and academic futures.In SRA, students undertake research-oriented learning, applying theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.This approach is beneficial for enhancing their understanding of concepts and also aids in developing crucial skills such as analytical thinking, data collection, and analysis (Brew, 2013).SRP, on the other hand, adopts a more structured approach as it allows integrating research activities directly into the curriculum.It emphasizes the development of knowledge through a sequential series of research activities.Each phase of learning in SRP is designed to build upon the previous one, so that it ensures a comprehensive understanding of the subject.This structured approach often encourages interdisciplinary research, allowing students to explore how different fields can contribute to a broader understanding of complex issues (Levy & Petrulis, 2012).SRP's integration of research into the curriculum also aligns with Linn et al.'s (2015) findings on the impact of research-based curricula on student learning outcomes.
Both SRA and SRP share the common goal of enriching the educational experience through research.These approaches emphasize the importance of research in education, as noted by Brew (2013) and Healey and Jenkins (2009), highlighting its role in enhancing critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and practical application of theoretical knowledge.In addition, the educators can follow pedagogical approaches focused on open questions and answers to promote the research scope and acting as a guidance of the reseach process culminating in real discoveries by the students.

Implications for Teaching
Applying ATD to the didactics of multivariate calculus underscores the need for a holistic teaching approach.It's not just about mastering techniques but understanding the broader praxeological structures.Educators are encouraged to integrate historical, cultural, and institutional perspectives into their teaching, making multivariate calculus more relevant and meaningful for students (Ruthven, 2007).

PAST IMPLEMENTATIONS OF ACTIVE PEDAGOGIES IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF MULTIVARIATE CALCULUS
The teaching and learning of multivariate calculus have been traditionally approached through lecture-based methods.However, as educational paradigms shift towards more student-centric approaches, active pedagogies have emerged as pivotal in enhancing comprehension and application of this advanced mathematical domain.In the subsequent discussion, we present prior experiences in implementing constructivist and active learning pedagogies in the instruction of multivariable calculus.The studies referenced here are illustrative and not exhaustive; they were selected as foundational references for the author in designing class activities within ATD framework, as will be elaborated later.We now turn our attention to these historical experiences:

Inquiry-Based Learning
IBL is rooted in the premise that students learn best when they actively seek answers through a structured process of questioning and exploration.In the context of multivariate calculus, IBL can involve presenting students with a real-world problem, such as optimizing a multi-variable function, and guiding them to explore and derive solutions using calculus concepts.Laursen et al. (2014) found that IBL in advanced mathematics courses fostered deeper conceptual understanding, improved problem-solving skills, and increased engagement.

Collaborative Learning
Multivariate calculus poses challenges that can often be better addressed through collective brainstorming and problemsolving.Collaborative learning not only promotes dialogue and debate around complex calculus problems but also aids in clarifying doubts and reinforcing understanding.Johnson et al. (1998) posited that collaborative learning, especially in subjects like multivariate calculus, can lead to higher student achievement, better retention of concepts, and increased student satisfaction.

Flipped Classroom
The flipped classroom approach, where traditional homework and lectures switch places, has seen application in multivariate calculus teaching.Here, students first engage with lecture materials at home, typically through video lectures, and then use classroom time for problem-solving and active discussions.This method allows for immediate clarification of doubts and handson practice under the guidance of the instructor.Ziegelmeier and Topaz (2015) noted that flipping the classroom in multivariate calculus led to improved student outcomes and more positive attitudes towards the subject.

Technology-Enhanced Active Learning
With the advent of digital tools and software, multivariate calculus instruction has been significantly augmented.Platforms like Mathematica, GeoGebra, or MATLAB allow students to visualize multi-dimensional functions, perform complex computations, and explore calculus concepts interactively.Such technology-enhanced active learning fosters deeper comprehension and offers a more tangible grasp of abstract concepts (Duffin & Simpson, 2000).

Project-Based Learning
Integrating project-based learning into multivariate calculus provides students with opportunities to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.By undertaking projects that require the application of calculus concepts, such as analyzing vector fields in fluid dynamics or optimizing production in economic models, students gain a more profound and applied understanding of the subject (Mills & Treagust, 2003).

CHALLENGES FACED BY STUDENTS IN MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS: A SHORT EXPLORATION
Multivariable calculus, with its intricate and multi-dimensional nature, poses significant challenges for students transitioning from single-variable calculus.A comprehensive understanding of these challenges can aid educators in developing targeted teaching strategies and support mechanisms.Below are some of the primary difficulties students encounter in this advanced mathematical domain.

Conceptual Complexity
One of the foremost challenges in multivariable calculus is grappling with its heightened conceptual complexity.Students must now navigate functions of several variables, leading to a more intricate functional landscape.This requires an evolved understanding of concepts like limits, continuity, and differentiability, which, in multiple dimensions, can be less intuitive (Porzio, 1999).

Visualization Challenges
The move from single to multiple variables implies transitioning from two-dimensional graphs to three-dimensional (or higher) visual representations.Many students find it challenging to visualize and interpret these multi-dimensional graphs, especially when it comes to surfaces, contour plots, and vector fields (Zimmerman & Cunningham, 1991).

Algebraic Complications
Multivariable calculus introduces a slew of new algebraic techniques, from partial derivatives to multiple integrals.These techniques often involve intricate algebraic manipulations, which can be overwhelming for students and lead to computational errors (Artigue, 1992).

Theoretical Abstractions
As students delve deeper into multivariable calculus, they encounter more abstract theoretical constructs, such as the theorems of Green, Stokes, and Gauss.These theorems, while foundational, require a robust conceptual understanding and can be challenging to apply in varied contexts (Duffin & Simpson, 2000).

Application in Real-World Problems
Multivariable calculus has extensive applications, from physics to economics.However, translating theoretical knowledge into practical application in diverse fields can be daunting for students.They often struggle to model real-world scenarios using multivariable calculus constructs (Simon & Blume, 1994).

Over-Reliance on Memorization
Given the breadth of topics and techniques in multivariable calculus, students often resort to rote memorization rather than genuine understanding.This memorization strategy can backfire when they encounter novel problems or complex integrals that demand a deeper conceptual grasp (Tall, 1992).

Coordination of Multiple Representations
Multivariable calculus frequently requires students to shift between different representations, such as algebraic, graphical, and numerical.Coordinating and translating between these representations can be challenging, especially when interpreting the implications of one representation for another (Kaput, 1992).

OBJECTIVES
The pursued objectives are summarized, as follows: 1. Comprehend ATD framework in multivariate calculus: Understand ATD and its emphasis on institutions, cultural norms, and historical contexts in shaping mathematical practices and multivariate calculus education.
2. Embrace contextualized mathematical learning: Recognize the critical role of socio-cultural and historical contexts in mathematical practices, highlighting the need for educators to integrate these perspectives for more relevant and effective teaching.
3. Advocate for active and engaged learning: Transition from traditional teaching methods to active learning paradigms in multivariate calculus, emphasizing visualization, real-world applications, and collaborative approaches.
4. Implement structured class activities: Provide educators with a methodology and specific proposals for class activities that align with ATD principles, address challenges in multivariate calculus, and prioritize student engagement and feedback.

METHODOLOGY FOR DEFINING CLASS ACTIVITIES IN MULTIVARIATE CALCULUS
Given the challenges students face in understanding multivariate calculus, a structured methodology is proposed to guide the creation of class activities.This methodology focuses on fostering conceptual understanding, enhancing visualization skills, and ensuring practical application and has been used as a guideline for defining specific class activities in connection with ATD (refer to the next section):

DISCUSSION
The proposed class activities, rooted in ATD framework, demonstrate a deliberate effort to make multivariate calculus instruction more engaging, relevant, and hopefully effective.The focus on real-world applications and collaborative learning is particularly relevant in today's education landscape.Situating abstract mathematical concepts in tangible scenarios and promoting teamwork is actually a premise.The proposed activities address the need for practical applicability and social learning experiences.Such an approach enhances the conceptual understanding and also develops essential skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication, which are invaluable in professional and academic contexts.However, it is important to acknowledge that the integration of ATD in multivariate calculus education, while beneficial, also presents challenges.The foremost challenge is the need for educators to be well-versed not only in mathematical content but also in the socio-cultural and historical aspects of mathematics.This requires a multidisciplinary understanding and a shift in traditional teaching paradigms.Additionally, the implementation of such a comprehensive approach demands significant planning and resources, especially in terms of developing appropriate materials and activities that align with ATD framework.Furthermore, the departure from SRA and SRP models in favor of more oriented sessions may be a challenge given the importance of SRA and SRP in current ATD applications.We note that while SRA and SRP are valuable in their focus on researchoriented learning, the methodologies proposed in this work offer more specifc range of strategies to address the multifaceted challenges inherent in understanding multivariate calculus.

CONCLUSIONS
Through the course of this exploration, we have delved into the various challenges students face in multivariate calculus, ranging from conceptual complexities to visualization barriers.We have also highlighted diverse pedagogical strategies that can be employed to address these challenges, from collaborative learning to technology-enhanced active learning.The proposed class activities, rooted in the principles of ATD, aim to make multivariate calculus more accessible, relevant, and engaging for students.They emphasize the integration of real-world applications, the use of technology for enhanced visualization and comprehension, and the promotion of collaborative and IBL.
In essence, the teaching and learning of multivariate calculus require a multifaceted approach, one that is informed by both historical and contemporary educational paradigms.As the world continues to evolve, and as mathematical challenges grow more complex, it is imperative for educators to remain adaptable, drawing from both time-tested theories like ATD and modern pedagogical innovations.In doing so, they can ensure that students not only master the technicalities of multivariate calculus but also appreciate its broader significance and applications in the ever-changing global landscape.
Future research stemming from this work should primarily focus on implementing and evaluating the described teaching sessions in real classroom settings to assess their effectiveness.Overall, it would be interesting to keep a longitudinal study to collect and analyze student feedback, which is vital for refining the tasks and further integrating ATD practices.Additionally, it is important to explore the integration of SRA and SRP within this framework.This exploration should include the development of inquiry-based activities and open-ended questions that align with student learning paths, fostering a research-oriented and personalized learning environment.Emphasis should also be placed on how different students respond to these methods so that personalized learning paths can be envisaged in multivariate calculus.
