Description
Springer New Directions For Situated Cognition In Mathematics Education 2008 Edition by Anne Watson Peter Winbourne
This book draws together a range of papers by experienced writers in mathematics education who have used the concept of situated cognition in their research within recent years. No other books are available which take this view specifically in mathematics education. Thus it provides an up-to-date overview of developments and applications to which other researchers can refer and which will inspire future research. Table of contents : School Mathematics As A Developmental Activity.- Participating In What? Using Situated Cognition Theory To Illuminate Differences In Classroom Practices.- Social Identities As Learners And Teachers Of Mathematics.- Looking For Learning In Practice: How Can This Inform Teaching.- Are Mathematical Abstractions Situated?.- 'We Do It A Different Way At My School'.- Situated Intuition And Activity Theory Fill The Gap.- The Role Of Artefacts In Mathematical Thinking: A Situated Learning Perspective.- Exploring Connections Between Tacit Knowing And Situated Learning Perspectives In The Context Of Mathematics Education.- Cognition And Institutional Setting.- School Practices With The Mathematical Notion Of Tangent Line.- Learning Mathematically As Social Practice In A Workplace Setting.- Analysing Concepts of Community of Practice.- 'No Way is Can't': A Situated Account of One Woman's Uses and Experiences of Mathematics.
