Is mathimantics based on Comenius' mathetics?

Answer 1

Mathimantics is a modern student-centered approach to teaching and learning that embraces students' genetic predisposition to learning styles. Exponents and practitioners of mathimantics utilize existing knowledge of the students' preferred learning styles and tailor-make learning programmes that best suits the students' needs.The term 'mathimantics' appears to be derived from the Greek for 'mathima' (lesson) and 'antics' (from Latin 'antiquus' -- old) -- an acknowledgement of the ancient principles of the science of learning, 'mathetics', a term coined by John Amos Comenius (1592-1670) in his work, Spicilegium didacticum.Mathimantics uses student-centered learning approaches and engages and stimulates the students' receptiveness by using techniques proven effective in current research results in pedagogical curriculum theory. Mathimantics opposes and contrasts most notably with teaching and learning found in 'didactic' approaches.
