Cognitive Operations and Educational Framing of Tasks. Schools as a Context for Arithmetic Thought.

Saljo, Roger; Wyndhamn, Jan

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v32 n2 p61-71 1988

The contextual determination of cognitive activities was investigated in a primary school naturalistic experiment. Performance at a group level on an elementary arithmetic task is influenced by the immediate context. Use of analogies as heuristic aids and the functional meaning of the task as a pedagogical praxis are assessed. (TJH)
