Direct linkMaria Hedefalk; Lovisa Sumpter – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2025
We live in an increasingly worrying future, where researchers are looking at how we can create education for a sustainable world. In this study we investigate what such education could look like, especially for young students, reinforcing hope and an ability to act and come up with ideas of sustainable solutions with no obvious 'good' solution.…

Dave Hewitt – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2024
The author has been influenced throughout his time in mathematics education by the work of Caleb Gattegno. Gattegno made extensive use of the word awareness whereas much educational literature from a psychological perspective talks about memory (for example, Justicia-Galiano, MartÌn-Puga, Linares & Pelegrina, 2017). This has, amongst other…

Swidan, Osama; Cusi, Annalisa; Robutti, Ornella; Arzarello, Ferdinando – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2023
This paper introduces a model built upon the Method of Varying Inquiry, offering a didactical approach to problem posing and solving activities that stimulates inquiry-based learning in mathematics classrooms. The model combines the inquiry-based framework with the variation theory and with specific didactical and theoretical elements (the…

Ethnomathematics in the 1930s--The Contribution of Ewald Fettweis to the History of Ethnomathematics
Rohrer, Andrea; Schubring, Gert – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2011
Ewald Fettweis (1881-1967) was the first researcher to develop and establish the term ethnomathematics. This article presents his contribution to ethnomathematics and its development as a scientific theory. We will show that he was the first researcher to realize and practice ethnomathematics in his research and to explain it in his lectures, thus…

Peer reviewedMasingila, Joanna O. – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1993
Discusses suggestions for the learning and teaching of mathematics based on a study examining the mathematics practices of carpet layers. Suggestions are made from the areas of (1) the school mathematics curriculum; (2) the methods used to teach school mathematics; and (3) research in mathematics education. (MDH)

Peer reviewedJaworski, Barbara – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1992
Proposes a teaching model to teach mathematics represented as a triad of three components: (1) management of learning; (2) mathematical challenge; and (3) sensitivity to students. Describes the three components and relates them to a constructivist perspective of learning. (MDH)

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…
