The paper presents how two different theories—the APC-space and the ATD—can frame in
a complementary way the semiotic (or ostensive) dimension of mathematical activity in the …

In this paper, we turn to the notion of networking theories with the aim of contrasting two
theoretical mathematics education perspectives inspired by Vygotsky's work, namely, the …

Different theoretical frameworks assign a representational role (referring to other entities
intervening in mathematical practices), as well as an instrumental role (tools for undertaking …

The notion of mediation, widely used in the current mathematics education literature, has
been elaborated into a pedagogical model describing the contribution of integrating tools to …

The notion of “praxeology” from the anthropological theory of the didactic (ATD) can be used
as a framework to approach what has recently been called the networking of theories in …

The theory of representations set out by Goldin illustrates how the notion of representation is
a potentially key element of a unifying theoretical framework for research into mathematics …

The articulation, hybridisation and modular construction of theories from an anthropological
and onto-semiotic approach is at the base of OSA (Font, Godino & Gallardo, 2013)[1]. This …

In mathematical activities and in the analysis of mathematics teaching-learning processes,
objects, signs, and representations are often mentioned, where the meaning assigned to …

The Theory of Didactical suitability, whose main aim is to synthesize and organize a system
of components and quality criteria for mathematics instruction processes, is described …

Research in the didactics of mathematics has shown the importance that representations
have in teaching and learning processes as well as the complexity of factors related to them …
