This book develops the theoretical perspective on visuospatial
reasoning in ecocultural contexts, granting insights on how the
language, gestures, and representations of different cultures
reflect visuospatial reasoning in context. For a number of years,
two themes in the field of mathematics education have run parallel
with each other with only a passing acquaintance. These two areas
are the psychological perspective on visuospatial reasoning and
ecocultural perspectives on mathematics education. This volume
examines both areas of research and explores the intersection of
these powerful ideas. In addition, there has been a growing
interest in sociocultural aspects of education and in particular
that of Indigenous education in the field of mathematics education.
There has not, however, been a sound analysis of how environmental
and cultural contexts impact visuospatial reasoning, although it
was noted as far back as the 1980s when Alan Bishop developed his
duality of visual processing and interpreting visual information.
This book provides this analysis and in so doing not only
articulates new and worthwhile lines of research, but also uncovers
and makes real a variety of useful professional approaches in
teaching school mathematics. With a renewed interest in
visuospatial reasoning in the mathematics education community, this
volume is extremely timely and adds significantly to current
literature on the topic.
