Cultural aspects in the conceptualization of active, bodily experience mathematics learning activities

An essential first step to investigating the implementation of a mathematics education research finding is to characterize within the research field the innovation being studied. The conceptualization and characteristics of the object under investigation may include aspects related to the mathematical culture of the explored specific context. Therefore, analysing the research perspectives of different cultural contexts may be relevant to bring out these features that would otherwise remain hidden. To this end, researchers in mathematics education can be pivotal enablers. This report presents cultural aspects in conceptualizing active, bodily experience mathematics learning activities that emerge from interviews with a selected group of Italian and Australian researchers.
