New directions for situated cognition in mathematics education

This book draws together a range of papers by experienced writers in mathematics education who have used the concept of situated cognition in their research within recent years. Thus it provides an up-to-date overview of developments and applications to which other researchers can refer and which will inspire future research. It is appropriate to review the field now and collect a range of papers which all relate to situated cognition and show how its application to mathematics education has matured and become usefully embedded in our approach to central issues about learning mathematics.
