DEALING WITH LEARNING IN PRACTICE: TOOLS FOR MANAGING THE COMPLEXITY OF TEACHING AND LEARNING

Abstract

Drawing on the so-called CULTIS model of learning theories developed while working with students in the UK and Denmark and insights gained through the experiences of teachers’ learning through Networks of Learning developed in Pakistan, we suggest that the complexity of learning can be tackled with the CULTIS model at the conceptual level and can be supplemented while taking insights from the experiences of working through the Networks of Learning. An example of the Network of Learning is the Mathematics Association of Pakistan (MAP). The paper also discusses the implications of how the juxtaposition of CULTIS and Networks for Learning can be used to develop mathematics teachers’ understanding for various demands of learning mathematics in an informed manner.
