Peer reviewedEasley, Jack – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1980
Mathematics education is viewed as a process imbedded in social interaction. Alternatives to seven widely recognized modeling perspectives that provide conceptual foundations for mathematics learning are discussed. (MP)

Peer reviewedNesher, Pearla – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1980
Failure of most children to solve word problems beyond the simplest is seen to stem from two causes: failure to understand applied arithmetic and failure to relate problems to the real world. Relevant research is reviewed, and a route for new research is proposed. (MP)

Peer reviewedLorenz, Jens Holger – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1980
A general model of teacher-student interaction is expanded specifically to mathematics. Mathematics appears to lead to idiosyncratic forms of language and communication in the classroom. (MP)

Peer reviewedBauersfeld, Heinrich – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1992
Discusses "connectionism," an alternative learning model wherein meaning resides in the function of the whole state of a network, rather than being localizable in certain symbols or areas. Topics discussed include integration with other learning models; the culture of the mathematics classroom; and characteristics of alternative…

Peer reviewedHoyles, Celia – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1992
Presents a theoretical framework for mathematics teaching research based on a content analysis of Psychology of Mathematics Education proceedings since 1979 and a selection of work outside mathematics education. Discusses the relationship between teachers' beliefs and teacher practice, the relationship between teachers' beliefs and innovation, and…
