We present an embodied theory of transfer as applied to mathematical ideas. Project-based learning (PBL) offers important sites for investigating transfer because students and teachers must track mathematical invariant relations that are embedded in complex settings where knowledge and information is distributed and extended across various…

This paper is located within the research into encouraging learners to reason mathematically and become engaged with concepts rather than just procedures. It reports on a research in progress examining two techniques to be used at the beginning of a sequence of lessons in order to elicit students' prior knowledge and understanding of topics about…

For the thirty-first year, the Research and Theory Division of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) sponsored the publication of these Proceedings. Papers were presented at the annual AECT Convention in Orlando, Florida. This year's Proceedings has two sections--Section 1 includes research and development papers and…
