Résumé

Cet article est une analyse critique de l’ouvrage « Windows on mathematical meaning. Learning cultures and computers. Dordrecht » écrit par Richard Noss, Celia Hoyles et publié chez Springer en 1996 (275 p., ISBN 0-7923-4073-6, Mathematics Education Library, v. 17).

Abstract

This book intends to challenge some of the conventional wisdoms on the learning of mathematics. They use the computer as a window onto mathematical meaning-making, drawing together the threads of their individual and collaborative research over more than a decade. The pivot of their theory is the idea of webbing, which explains how someone struggling with a new mathematical idea can draw on supportive knowledge and reconciles the individual’s role in mathematical learning with the part played by epistemological, social and cultural forces.
