Dialogue and Learning in Mathematics Education. Intention, Reflection, Critique.

Dialogue and Learning in Mathematics Education is concerned with communication in mathematics class-rooms. In a series of empirical studies of project work, we follow students' inquiry cooperation as well as students' obstructions to inquiry cooperation. Both are considered important for a theory of learning mathematics.
Special attention is paid to the notions of `dialogue' and `critique'. A central idea is that `dialogue' supports `critical learning of mathematics'. The link between dialogue and critique is developed further by including the notions of `intention' and `reflection'. Thus a theory of learning mathematics is developed which is resonant with critical mathematics education.

From the reviews:

"Dialogue and Learning in Mathematics Education addresses communication in mathematics classrooms and builds on many theoretical and philosophical bases ??? . This book will be of interest to educational philosophers. The book uses transcripts to share student discussions in very open-ended projects called ???landscapes of investigation???." (Rheta N. Rubenstein, Mathematics Teacher, Vol. 99 (2), September, 2005)
