Rodríguez-Nieto, Camilo Andrés; Rodríguez-Vásquez, Flor Monserrat; Moll, Vicenç Font – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
The literature reports that students have difficulties connecting different meanings, multiple representations of the derivative, and performing reversibility processes between representations of f and f'. The research goal is to analyze the mathematical connections that university students establish when solving tasks that involve the graphs of f…

Prediction and the Periodical Aspect as Generators of Knowledge in a Social Practice Framework: A Socioepistemological Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Buendia, Gabriela; Cordero, Francisco – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2005
We start from the assumption that school mathematics knowledge could be better explained if social practices were considered to be generators of knowledge. This perspective changes the way we look at what school mathematics knowledge is and what it takes to teach and learn it. In this article, we will present a teaching situation about periodic…

Mathematical Modelling: The Interaction of Culture and Practice.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Molyneux-Hodgson, Susan; Rojano, Teresa; Sutherland, Rosamund; Ursini, Sonia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1999
Analyzes the results of a Mexican/British project that used the sociocultural approach to investigate ways in which mathematics is used in the practice of school science and the role of spreadsheets as a mathematical modeling tool. Suggests the possibility of enhancing students' capability to shift between a wider range of representations using…
