Classroom Cultures from a Social Constructivist's Point of View.
Bauersfeld, Heinrich
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v23 n5 p467-81 Oct 1992
Examples from related case studies illustrate possible consequences of a social constructivist approach to learning and teaching mathematics. Discusses student tasks that promote flexibility in mathematizing subject matter; constructive versus Euclidean geometry approaches; working with real-life mathematics problems; and product versus process orientation.
