Beyond Mere Knowledge of Mathematics: The Importance of Knowing-To Act in the Moment.
Mason, John; Spence, Mary
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v38 n1-3 p135-61 1999
Illustrates distinctions among kinds of knowing. Distinguishes knowing-to from other forms of knowing, and explores implications of that distinction for teaching and learning mathematics. Proposes that knowing-to act in the moment depends on the structure of attention at the moment, and on what one is aware of. (Contains 75 references.) (Author/ASK)
