Résumé

The present article presents the genesis of the international conference: andhighGeometry and geometrical education in the current second high school, which took place on November 22-25, 2012 in Togliatti StateUniversity. This conference was dedicated to the 70th jubilee of professorW.A. Gusiew (В.А. Гусев), world-wide famous professor of Mathematicseducation, author and co-author of Geometry textbooks and methodologicalguidebooks for teachers of Maths, published for the need of students’ geometricaleducation and having recommendation of the Russian Ministry ofEducation and Science. In this work the crucial threads of the plenary lectureof professor W.A. Gusiew and the points of the scientific program of theTogliatti Conference are discussed. The plenary lecture, as well as papersand groups’ and round table discussions revealed the results of research onthe problems of Geometry, and the state, quality and current problems ofgeometrical education of pupils and students. Both Russian and foreign participantsof the conference, while judging and summarizing the results of theconference, jointly expressed their concerns about the slow pace of adaptingthe educational systems to the Bologna process, and about the current stateand quality of Maths education. The legitimacy of those concerns is shownby the lower motivation of pupils and students to study Geometry and Maths, reduced number of Maths hours in school, confusing standards of Mathseducation, reduced requirements on the Maths school-leaving examinationand Maths exams in universities.
