Cognitive Approaches to Mathematics Education Today
Organized by Stacy Costa, Marcel Danesi, Andy Lucacescu, and Dragana Martinovic
This workshop is organized by the Cognitive Science Network and the Math Ed Forum of the Fields Institute. It provides an overview of what has been achieved so far in cognitive mathematics, from three perspectives: (1) the kinds of theoretical models that cognitive mathematics has been refining within the field of mathematics cognition study, based primarily on the work in blending theory; (2) the implications for research in mathematics education generally; and (3) the insights it can provide in the use of AI both as to how mathematics is learned and by extension what it implies for mathematics education today. The workshop ends with brief presentations by two editors at Springer, which now published a new “Briefs” series of books in cognitive mathematics.
