{"product_id":"culture-and-cognitive-development","title":"Culture and Cognitive Development","description":"\u003cp\u003eResearchers examining children's mathematics acquisition are now questioning the belief that children learn mathematics principally through formalized, in-school mathematics education. There is increasing evidence that children gain mathematical understanding through their participation in out-of-school cultural practices and that their mathematics only occasionally resembles what they learn in the classroom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e Culture and Cognitive Development \u003c\/i\u003e presents the latest research by Dr. Geoffrey Saxe on this issue. In examinations of the mathematical understandings of child candy sellers in an urban center in northeastern Brazil, Dr. Saxe finds sharp contrasts between mathematics as practiced in school and in real-world settings. In this unique research project he presents a penetrating conceptual treatment of the interplay between culture and cognitive development, filling a void in current research literature. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Subjects examined include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e the interplay between sociocultural and cognitive developmental processes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e the differences between math knowledge learned in and out of the classroom \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e the ways math learning in the classroom is modified by children's out-of-school mathematics and, correspondingly, how practical out-of-school mathematics use is modified by formal education\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224896885080,"sku":"9780805802733","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780805802733_fcfcbb2a-08c5-457b-a7a5-e0676d8159c7.jpg?v=1769769942","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/culture-and-cognitive-development","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
