Towards a confluence framework of problem solving in educational contexts

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

An exploratory confluence framework for analysing mathematical problem solving in socially different educational contexts is introduced. The central premise of the framework is that a key solution idea to a problem can be constructed by a solver as a result of shifts of attention that come from individual effort, interaction with peer problem solvers or interaction with a source of knowledge about the solution. The framework consolidates some existing theoretical developments and aims at addressing the perennial educational challenge of helping students become more effective problem solvers.
