Research Commentary. Establishing Mathematics Education as an Academic Field: A Constructive Odyssey
Direct linkSteffe, Leslie P. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2013
Leslie Steffe, among the foremost mathematics education researchers in the world, has had a profound influence on three generations of researchers. In 2006, he received the first-ever Senior Scholar Award from the AERA Special Interest Group: Research in Mathematics for the excellence and seminal nature of his work. Steffe shares his thoughts…

Peer reviewedSteffe, Leslie P.; Thompson, Patrick W. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2000
Replies to Lerman, who presented Vygotsky as an irreconcilable opponent to Piaget's genetic epistemology and von Glasersfeld's radical constructivism. Argues that Lerman's stance does not reflect von Glasersfeld's opinion of Vygotsky's work, nor does it reflect Vygotsky's opinion of Piaget's work. Establishes compatibility between analytic units…

Peer reviewedSteffe, Leslie P.; Blake, Rick N. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1983
This critique focuses on Gagne's attempt to apply information-processing theory to mathematics education, noting that this distorts what it means to learn mathematics. This is discussed with specific illustrations. (MNS)

Peer reviewedCobb, Paul; Steffe, Leslie P. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1983
A methodology for exploring limits and subtleties of children's construction of mathematical concepts and operations is described. It is believed that the failure to observe children's constructive processes firsthand denies a researcher the experimental base so crucial in formulating explanations of processes. Researchers are encouraged to teach…

Peer reviewedSteffe, Leslie P.; Johnson, David C. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1971
Examined were differential performances among categories of first graders when solving arithmetical workd problems of eight types under two distinct conditions. The categories were based on various types of quantitative comparisons which children are known to make. Several statistically significant results were obtained involving differences…

Four levels of quantitative comparisons based on Piagetian task analysis and three IQ levels were used to partition a population of 341 first grade children. Each child was then tested on a set of addition facts and a set of addition problems which varied according to the use of aids or transformation. (JG)

Peer reviewedSteffe, Leslie P.; Carey, Russell L. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1972
A study of conservation of length concepts covering the symmetric, asymmetric, reflexive, nonreflexive, and transitive relations. Their order of development was traced during the course of a 15-lesson sequence of related instruction. (MM)

Peer reviewedSteffe, Leslie P.; D'Ambrosio, Beatriz S. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1995
Discusses constructivist teaching, students' mathematical knowledge, activating prior knowledge, hypothetical learning trajectory, and reflection in teaching mathematics, all in reaction to Simon's model of constructivist pedagogy. (24 references) (MKR)

Peer reviewedSteffe, Leslie P.; Kieren, Thomas – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1994
Provides an interpretation of the influence of constructivist thought on mathematics educators starting around 1960 and proceeding up to the present time, including Piaget's cognitive-development psychology, a preconstructivist revolution in research, beginnings of the constructivist revolution, and how this revolution served as a period of…
