Flieller, André; Jarlégan, Annette; Tazouti, Youssef – Journal of Educational Research, 2016
To what extent can teacher-student dyadic interactions modify the hierarchy of student performances within a single class? To answer this insufficiently researched question, the authors conducted two parallel studies involving 33 Grade 5 classes in France (759 students) and 15 Grade 5 classes in Luxembourg (243 students). Interactions were…

Hershkowitz, Rina; Hadas, Nurit; Dreyfus, Tommy; Schwarz, Baruch – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2007
A model for processes of abstraction, based on epistemic actions, has been proposed elsewhere. Here we apply this model to processes in which groups of individual students construct shared knowledge and consolidate it. The data emphasizes the interactive flow of knowledge from one student to the others in the group, until they reach a shared…

Sabena, Cristina; Radford, Luis; Bardini, Caroline – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2005
In this paper we focus on the role of signs in students' perceptive processes underpinning the generalization of numeric-geometric patterns. Based on a videotaped Grade 9 classroom group activity undertaken by three students and framed by a cultural-semiotic theoretical perspective, we carry out a microgenetic analysis of an elementary form of…
