Kress, Gunther, Ed.; Selander, Staffan, Ed.; Säljö, Roger, Ed.; Wulf, Christoph, Ed. – Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2021
This book studies learning as a social enterprise, contextually situated, organized and assessed. It gives a broad theoretic grounding for an understanding of learning which goes beyond a common reductionist approach. The book discusses four related approaches to learning which share a social perspective: social semiotics and multimodality; a…

Jensen, Annie Aarup, Ed.; Stentoft, Diana, Ed.; Ravn, Ole, Ed. – Springer, 2019
This book addresses the relation between Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and interdisciplinarity and challenges the often implicit assumption that PBL leads to interdisciplinarity by default. The book examines theoretical and philosophical aspects of PBL and interdisciplinary learning. The first part of the book conceptualises the notions of…

Felmer, Patricio, Ed.; Liljedahl, Peter, Ed.; Koichu, Boris, Ed. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
Recent research in problem solving has shifted its focus to actual classroom implementation and what is really going on during problem solving when it is used regularly in classroom. This book seeks to stay on top of that trend by approaching diverse aspects of current problem solving research, covering three broad themes. Firstly, it explores the…

de Silva, Eugene, Ed. – IGI Global, 2015
While the great scientists of the past recognized a need for a multidisciplinary approach, today's schools often treat math and science as subjects separate from the rest. This not only creates a disinterest among students, but also a potential learning gap once students reach college and then graduate into the workforce. "Cases on…
