  • Book Description

    This book argues for the approach to thinking about thinking by looking at communication and cognition, or "commognition." She argues for this approach by using examples from mathematical education and human development. The explanatory power of commognitive framework and the manner in which it contributes to our understanding of human development is illustrated through analysis of mathematical discourse accompanied by vignettes from mathematics classrooms.

  • Product Description

    This book contributes to the current debate about how to think and talk about human thinking so as to resolve or bypass such time-honored quandaries as the controversy of nature vs. nurture, the body and mind problem, the question of learning transfer, and the conundrum of human consciousness. The author responds to the challenge by introducing her own "commognitive" conceptualization of human thinking. She argues for this special approach with the help of examples of mathematical thinking. Except for its contribution to theorizing on human development, the book is relevant to researchers looking for methodological innovations, and to mathematics educators seeking pedagogical insights and improvements.
