Mathematics in Mind, Brain, and Education: A Neo-Piagetian Approach
Norton, Anderson; Deater-Deckard, Kirby
International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, v12 n3 p647-667 Jun 2014
Because of their focus on psychological structures and operations, neo-Piagetian approaches to learning lend themselves to neurological hypotheses. Recent advances in neural imaging and educational technology now make it possible to test some of these claims. Here, we take a neo-Piagetian approach to mathematical learning in order to frame two studies involving the use of electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging imaging, as well as the use of iOS-based apps designed to elicit particular ways of operating with mathematics. Results could inform theories of mathematical learning and effective educational game design.
