The computer as a mediating influence in the development of pupils’ understanding of variable
Within a Logo environment, pupils routinely use the notion of variable. However, the process by which they come to develop understandings is more problematic. In this paper we describe a series of situations i...

Develo** Mathematical Knowledge Through Microworlds
This chapter sets out to examine some aspects, both positive and negative, of the role of the computer in the learning of mathematics. The computer is not a unitary object. Its effects depend on the user inter...

A pedagogy for mathematical microworlds
In this paper we attempt to map out some relationships between pedagogy and student behaviour in a mathematical microworld. We illustrate our analysis by a series of episodes which occurred in a Logo-based mic...

Microworlds/Schoolworlds: The Transformation of an Innovation
This chapter is about microworlds - about computational worlds where mathematical ideas are expressed and developed. It will seek to show how the very essence of these worlds is moulded and shaped by the disco...

Deconstructing Microworlds
This paper clarifies the meaning of “microworld” and shows how several microworlds are important environments in hel** students learn mathematics (including notions of ratio and proportion). The proposed fra...

Chapter
Tools and Technologies
It has become part of accepted educational wisdom that the computer by itself cannot fundamentally change either what is learned or how, and that issues of learning and teaching are dependent on more than the ...

Chapter
Webs and Situated Abstractions
In Chapter 2 we laid the foundation stones of our work and saw the problematisation of dichotomies such as formal/informal, concrete/abstract, contextualised/decontextualised as our primary challenge. We quest...

Cultures and Change
There is a substantial literature which has explored educational innovation and change from political and cultural perspectives (see, for example, House, 1974; Rudduck, 1991). It indicates clearly that even wh...

A Window on Schools
In the previous chapter, we tried to develop a picture of the teachers’ view of change, by synthesising cognitive and cultural perspectives through the construction of our caricatures. We are aware that our an...
