Palatnik, Alik; Koichu, Boris – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2019
This study aims to explore a phenomenon of a one-off manifestation of mathematical creativity on the part of a student, against the background of her normative and not especially creative behavior--a flash of creativity. We seek to elaborate on this phenomenon in terms of the 4P (person, press, process and product) model of creativity. Namely,…

University mathematics education (UME) is considered, in this paper, as a kind of "didactic practice"--characterised by institutional settings and by the purpose of inducting students into "mathematical practices." We present a research programme -- the anthropological theory of the didactic (ATD)--in which this rough…
