... However, the university mathematics demand much in-depth understanding and focuses on formal definition of concepts and proving mathematical facts (Wenger, 2000). It is possible to pass school mathematics solely through the use of factual recall, a skill that require little knowledge of mathematics (Collins et al., 2018;Weber, 2001). The transition involves revisiting mathematical objects used in school, defining concepts before using them in proofs, and learning how to use formal mathematical language and coherent use of words, images, and symbol to construct mathematical arguments (Mamolo, 2010). ...
... As such, this section introduces Brown, Collins and Duguid's (1989) discussion of how activity and situations are integral to cognition and learning. It presents 'cognitive apprenticeship' (Collins, Brown and Newman, 1987) drawing insights from Lave and Wenger and opening up a discussion on Authentic Learning Activity, which will be discussed further in Chapter four. In this chapter, I augment Brown Collins and Duguid's cognitive apprenticeship to consider it as a scaffolding process allowing learners to understand, not just how practitioners think at work, but also, how work practice is different. ...
