Go back   Title: The roles of prior knowledge when students interpret mathematical texts Type: Book chapter Fulltext:   --- Other:   Information from the publisher   Abstract: In this chapter I examine what roles different types of prior knowledge have in the comprehension process when reading mathematical texts. Through theoretical analyses, three central aspects are highlighted; cognitive structure, cognitive process, and metacognition. For all these three aspects, questions arise regarding relationships between general and content-specific types of prior knowledge. Some empirical studies are described that study these questions.
