Contents:
The traditional triadic 'Teaching System' (the teacher, the student and mathematics) and the new quaternary version (the teacher, the student, mathematics and new technologies), are studied according to Systems Theory. Systems Theory is described and the model of the traditional 'Teaching System' and that of the new system are analysed with the aid of this theory; that is the structure of each system (elements, interactions) and its function are described. Finally, comments are made about the application of the new system on didactic, on the one hand, and the philosophical background of the incorporation of the fourth element (new technologies) in the traditional system, on the other.
