The Investigation Of Non-Stem Undergraduate Students' Geometric Cognition Development Within An Embodied Cognition Lens, Chen Lin
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
According to Lakoff & Núñez (2000), the mind does not operate separately in the process of building mathematics concepts. Incorporating the human body and the material surroundings into mathematics learning may contribute to the development of students’ mathematical minds, which is consistent with the theory of embodied cognition asserting that cognition rests on the close interaction between the human body and mind, also coupled with the environment. To seek the possibility of applying this theory to mathematics education, this study examines non-STEM undergraduate students’ geometric cognition development as they took part in a geometry course that integrated the arts and …
