Transitions between institutional settings: Macro- and micro-ruptures in mathematics education
Transitions between institutional settings: Macro- and micro-ruptures in mathematics education
This short paper outlines the theoretical perspective on transition adopted by Artigue and relates this to a small-scale case-study conducted in the UK (Coad & Jones, 1999). The line of reasoning being put forward is that transitions in the mathematics experience of students involve macro- and micro-ruptures (or breaches) in their mathematics education. Understanding the origin and nature of such ruptures (or breaches) might inform further work aimed at suggesting possible remedies that enhance student learning around times of transition.

Abstract

The line of reasoning being put forward is that transitions in the mathematics experience of students involve macro- and micro-ruptures (or breaches) in their mathematics education. Understanding the origin and nature of such ruptures (or breaches) might inform further work aimed at suggesting possible remedies that enhance student learning around times of transition.
