| Description: |
Claims that mathematics can be usefully re-conceptualized as a special form of communication. This volume is aimed at those interested in specific questions regarding classroom communication, and at those who are looking for a general conceptual lens with which to tackle the complexity of mathematical teaching and learning. |
| Synopsis: |
The authors of this volume claim that mathematics can be usefully re-conceptualized as a special form of communication. As a result, the familiar discussion of mental schemes, misconceptions, and cognitive conflict is transformed into a consideration of activity, patterns of interaction, and communication failure. By equating thinking with communicating, the discursive approach also deconstructs the problematic dichotomy between "individual" and "social" research perspectives. |
