Article
Full-text available
The introduction of complex mathematical concepts through perceptual and sensorial hands-on experiences is one of the most relevant aspects of the Montessori method proposal. This article aims to investigate the origins of the Montessori’s profound interest for mathematics, studying the history of the education of mathematics, after the unification...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Despite both the research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, and in mathematics education has increasingly highlighted the relevance of active, bodily experience in mathematics learning, often school teaching seems to be far removed from these perspectives, still largely transmissive. The research presented in the paper is part of an ongoing...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
An essential first step to investigating the implementation of a mathematics education research finding is to characterize within the research field the innovation being studied. The conceptualization and characteristics of the object under investigation may include aspects related to the mathematical culture of the explored specific context. There...
Article
Despite the growing emphasis on embodied education in mathematics research, it remains unclear how extensively these ideas permeate schools. Through an exploratory survey, we pinpoint common traits and differences in beliefs among a convenience sample of Italian primary and secondary school mathematics teachers, searching for contextual and individ...
Article
Full-text available
This study focuses on interdisciplinary approaches within mathematics and physics education. Secondary schools, particularly those specialized in scientific curricula, have opportunities to explore common topics between mathematics and physics; however, creating a coherent interdisciplinary educational experience is challenging. Adopting an interdi...
Article
Full-text available
Instructional design is an essential part of teaching practice: both researchers and teachers are engaged in finding strategies to deal with this complex work. We propose the use of storytelling as a skeleton to structure a long-lasting teaching unit, maintaining coherence and giving meaning to its various elements. We refer to an interpretation of...
Poster
Le scoperte neuroscientifiche degli ultimi anni hanno confermato il ruolo centrale del perceptual-motor approach nell'apprendimento della Matematica. Presentiamo un'attività strutturata, incentrata sull'utilizzo di artefatti che non rappresentano solo un "fugace concreto" ma il fondamento per una comprensione profonda e duratura dei concetti geomet...
