@article{oai:mie-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00007132, author = {上垣, 渉 and Uegaki, Wataru}, journal = {日本数学教育学会誌. 臨時増刊, 数学教育学論究}, month = {Mar}, note = {application/pdf, The elementary text of arithmetic used broadly in the primary school in the period from 1872 to 1879 was called "Shogaku-Sanjutsu-sho." The influential opinin was that the source of this book was "Intellectual Arithmetic upon the Inductive Method of Instruction "written by Warren Colburn (1793-1833) and based on the intuitivism of Pestalozzi. I tried to compare the "Shogaku-Sanjutsu-sho" to Colburn's text book from the seven points of view as follows ; (1) whether employing the illustrations or not (2) the intoroduction of Arabic numerals (3) the basic calculation (4) the method of the four operations (5) whether employing the figure of numerical sequence or not (6) the intoroduction of the terms and signs of four operations, and equality (7) whether employing the illustrations of fraction or not Since it was clear that the above opinion was not correct as the result of my examination, I investigated other arithmetical texts which were imported to Japan in those days, those are Horatio Nelson Robinson's (1806-1867) texts and Charles Davies' (1789-1876) texts. Though there were a lot of texts written by Robinson and Davies, I was able to discover the following four texts, which are probably the source book of "Shogaku-Sanjutsu-sho." (a) Robinson's Progressive Primary Arithmetic, 1862 (b) Robinson's First Lessons in Mental and Written Arithmetic, 1870 (c) Davies' Primary Arithmetic, 1862 (d) Davies' Intellectual Arithmetic, 1858 According to my examination, the total construction of "Shogaku-Sanjutsu-sho" depends on the text (d), employing some illustrations on the texts (a), (c) and employing the terms and signs of operations on the text (b). All the above four texts also contibute to the description in respect of the points of views (3), (4). "Shogaku-Sanjutsu-sho" made with the above four texts was completed as simple and fruitful text. As the text was very pedagogical, it was used broadly in those days.}, pages = {3--16}, title = {『小學算術書』の種本に関する再考証}, volume = {76}, year = {2001} }
