Reflective Abstraction in Advanced Mathematical Thinking
TL;DR: The purpose in this chapter is to propose that the concept of reflective abstraction can be a powerful tool in the study of advanced mathematical thinking and can provide a theoretical basis that supports and contributes to the authors' understanding of what this thinking is and how it can help students develop the ability to engage in it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of the Process Conception of Function
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that college students, even those who have taken a fair number of mathematics courses, do not have much of an understanding of the function concept; and an epistemological theory was developed points to an instructional treatment, using computers, that results in substantial improvements for many students.

Programming with Sets: An Introduction to SETL
TL;DR: SETL improves programmer speed and pro ductivity significantly, and also enhances program clarity and readability, and the classroom consequence is that students, freed of some of the burden of petty programming detail, can advance their knowledge of significant algorithms and of broader strategic issues in program development more rapidly than with more conventional programming languages.
Book ChapterDOI
APOS: A Constructivist Theory of Learning in Undergraduate Mathematics Education Research
Ed Dubinsky,Michael A. McDonald +1 more
TL;DR: McDonald as mentioned in this paper described how one such perspective, APOS Theory, is being used in an organized way by members of RUMEC and others to conduct research and develop curriculum, and observed students' success in making or not making mental constructions proposed by the theory and using such observations to analyze data can organize our thinking about learning mathematical concepts, provide explanations of student difficulties and predict success or failure in understanding a mathematical concept.
