ICME-12 TSG 14 Reasoning, proof and proving in mathematics education

Coex, Seoul - Korea 

July 08-15, 2013

Maria Alessandra Mariotti (Italy), Stéphane Cyr (Canada), Andreas Stylianides (UK), Viviane Durand-Guerrier (France), Youngmee Koh (Korea), Kirsti Hemmi (Sweden) Hee Chan Lew (Corea).

The sessions in Seoul were chaired by Viviane Durand-Guerrier.

The work of  TSG 14 intended to serve a dual role: presentation of the current state of the art in the topic “Reasoning, proof and proving in mathematics education” and expositions of outstanding recent contributions to it. The topic will be considered at all levels of education: elementary, secondary, university (including pre-service teacher education), and in-service teacher education. The Organizing Team of the Study Group had invited theoretical, empirical or developmental papers that address one or more of the following themes : Historical / Epistemological /logical issues ; Curriculum and textbook aspect ; Cognitive aspect ; Teaching and teacher education aspect, so that any paper of relevance to the overall focus of the Study Group.
