THE COMPLEXITY OF ADVANCED MATHEMATICAL THINKING AT THE NON-UNIVERSITY LEVEL

This poster intends to be a presentation of the PHD research project by the first author. Understanding the reasons to the (un) success in mathematics, has attracted the interest of researchers worldwide. Starting with some theories of knowledge construction, it aims to understand the different interactions occurring in the classroom. In addition we expect to further study this complexity, by understanding the links between the representations of various concepts, and knowing what nonhigher education students make of it. The technology emergence, in all its forms, in schools as catalyst for learning, may enhance the connections between various representations of a mathematical object as a relevant factor contributing to the clarification of learning issues.
