The Theoretical Foundations of Writing in Mathematics Class.
Davis, Robert B.
Journal of Mathematical Behavior, v12 n3 p295-300 Sep 1993
Attempts to distinguish between the lecture method and the constructivist approach, in general, and by citing classroom scenarios. The author cautions those whose writing seems to unintentionally endorse traditional lecture and drill and practice methods. (MKR)
