Research Commentary: Amidst Multiple Theories of Learning in Mathematics Education
Martin A. Simon
Currently, there are more theories of learning in use in mathematics education research than ever before. Although this is a positive sign for the field, it also has brought with it a set of challenges. In this article, the author identifies some of these challenges and considers how mathematics education researchers might think about, and work with, the multiple theories available.
