The Anthropology of Meaning     

Luis Radford 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2006,61(1-2):39-65

Meaning is one of the recent terms which have gained great currency in mathematics education. It is generally used as a correlate of individuals' intentions and considered a central element in contemporary accounts of knowledge formation. One important question that arises in this context is the following: if, in one way or another, knowledge rests on the intrinsically subjective intentions and deeds of the individual, how can the objectivity of conceptual mathematical entities be guaranteed? In the first part of this paper, both Peirce's and Husserl's theories of meaning are discussed in light of the aforementioned question. I examine their attempts to reconcile the subjective dimension of knowing with the alleged transcendental nature of mathematical objects. I argue that transcendentalism, either in Peirce's or Husserl's theory of meaning, leads to an irresolvable tension between subject and object. In the final part of the article, I sketch a notion of meaning and conceptual objects based on a semiotic-cultural approach to cognition and knowledge which gives up transcendentalism and instead conveys the notion of contextual objectivity.  相似文献   

An Onto-Semiotic Analysis of Combinatorial Problems and the Solving Processes by University Students     

Juan?D.?GodinoEmail author  Carmen?Batanero  Rafael?Roa 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2005,60(1):3-36

In this paper we describe an ontological and semiotic model for mathematical knowledge, using elementary combinatorics as an example. We then apply this model to analyze the solving process of some combinatorial problems by students with high mathematical training, and show its utility in providing a semiotic explanation for the difficulty of combinatorial reasoning. We finally analyze the implications of the theoretical model and type of analysis presented for mathematics education research and practice.  相似文献   

空白之美--试论《呼啸山庄》中缺失的场景     

肖智立 《湘潭师范学院学报(社会科学版)》2003,25(6):80-82

缺少对自然及自然场景中主要人物的描写是《呼啸山庄》的特征之一。艾米莉借此表达了她对自然的独特理解。荒原在作的心中引发出神秘的激情，任何言说都只会局限它，小说中叙事出现空白或是漏洞的地方往往就是真正意义的所在。  相似文献

Researching ‘messy objects’: how can boundary objects strengthen the analytical pursuit of an actor-network theory study?     

Jennifer Scoles 《Studies in Continuing Education》2018,40(3):273-289

ABSTRACT

This paper offers a detailed consideration of how the theoretical scope of the boundary object concept fits within an actor-network theory (ANT) sensibility when researching ‘messy objects’. Messy objects are artefacts whose relational effects are inherently slippery and complex. As the aim of ANT is to show how non-human and human actors are co-constitutive in performing social activity, the uptake of boundary objects in ANT studies may appear to be an expedient analytical endeavour. However, scholars have raised concerns that the boundary object concept has lost some of its original analytical bearing, and that it is theoretically incompatible with ANT. This paper argues that a more careful reading of boundary objects’ conceptual origins can provide useful insights for an ANT study. To illustrate this argument, findings are presented from an ethnographic study of engineers’ knowledge practices in an emerging industry. Specifically, it shows that when a messy object – a signature on a contract – is foregrounded as a boundary object, particular knowledge practices are made visible. However, due to the complexity and messiness of the signature’s performance, this paper contends that a pluralist theoretical approach to analysing messy objects may be more helpful to address issues of professional practice and knowledge.  相似文献

关于商品流通企业批发环节存货管理的几点看法     

窦春晖  窦春妍 《伊犁教育学院学报》2001,14(3):93-96

在商品流通企业批发环节中，存货管理由于其自身的流动性和占用性的特点，会对企业的经济效益产生重大的影响。建立建全能有效执行存货实物流转和价值流转的内部控制等一系列制度能够有效地搞好存货管理，然而，存货保管作为一项基础工作和流转的重要环节尤其必须得到足够的重视。  相似文献

概念规约与对象厘清——学科教育学研究的两个前提性问题     

王传金  谢利民 《西北师大学报》2006,43(6):31-34

目前,无论是理论界还是实践界,对学科教育学的概念、研究对象等问题仍然有许多困惑和质疑,这在某种程度上影响了学科教育学的发展,尤其是其理论的建构。本文从概念的规范与约定入手,在研究对象比较与关系梳理的基础上,探讨了学科教育学发展的逻辑空间及其应然取向。  相似文献   

关于现代英语教学的几点思考     

王宏斗 《太原大学学报》2007,8(3):115-116

随着信息化、全球化时代的到来,为迎接新世纪的挑战,我国外语教学经过多次调整,英语已核复主要外语地位。在强调英语教学重要性的同时,对有关问题进一步思考很必要。如:英语教学法模式的改革,创新性教育思维、现代英语的变化,使用现代化手段教学,英语教学须"以人为本"。  相似文献
