The aim of this paper is to show the evolution of a meta-methodology adopted by the authors in some of the activities they proposed over the last 10 years to students and teachers. All the activities, called laboratories, involve the use of technology and are based on laboratorial methodology aiming to a robust understanding of mathematics. We describe, as example, five laboratories and provide a discussion on our meta-methodology as researchers on such laboratories finding a meta-methodological evolution. In particular, by analysing this evolution, we detect an initial attitude towards “closed” laboratories (rigidly structured, letting no freedom of choice for students and teachers) evolving into an attitude to “open” laboratories (letting freedom of choice to students and/or teachers).

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to show the evolution of a meta-methodology adopted by the authors in some of the activities they proposed over the last 10 years to students and teachers. All the activities, called laboratories, involve the use of technology and are based on laboratorial methodology aiming to a robust understanding of mathematics. We describe, as example, five laboratories and provide a discussion on our meta-methodology as researchers on such laboratories finding a meta-methodological evolution. In particular, by analysing this evolution, we detect an initial attitude towards “closed” laboratories (rigidly structured, letting no freedom of choice for students and teachers) evolving into an attitude to “open” laboratories (letting freedom of choice to students and/or teachers).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
