In this paper, we examine the support given for the ‘theory of formal discipline’ by Inglis and Simpson (Educational Studies Mathematics 67:187–204, 2008). This theory, which is widely accepted by mathematicians and curriculum bodies, suggests that t... Read More about Conditional inference and advanced mathematical study: Further evidence.

The role of definitions in example classification (2009)
Journal Article
Alcock, L., & Simpson, A. (2009). The role of definitions in example classification

This paper reports an empirical study of students’ classification of sequences before and after meeting explicit definitions of ‘increasing’ and ‘decreasing’. In doing so, it explores 1) students’ interpretations of the definitions and 2) the appropr... Read More about The role of definitions in example classification.
