Abstract

Two central principles of contemporary learning science theory (Stahl, Koschmann & Suthers, 2006) are: • Student learning involves construction of meaning by the learners (constructivism). • Learning often takes place originally inter-subjectively (socio-cultural theory). For learning in the discipline of mathematics, these principles imply: • Student exploration of mathematical issues should play a significant role in math education. • Collaborative approaches should be incorporated, in which small groups of students build mathematical understanding together.
