>- New Ideas in Psychology, 2000,18(2-3) -
>that probably not usually are read by the list members.
>It is a special issue on the sociological(!) works of Piaget (Sociological
>Studies, 1995, Routledge).

>Those of you who still believe that Piaget has nothing to contribute to the
>issue of "the social" in mathematics education will be surprised, (as well
>as those of you who do not know that Vygotsky was a behaviorist as late as
>1930..... see deVries below.)
>
>In one article on "Contstraint and cooperation algebraic probem solving",
>Analucia Schliemann argues that "Piaget's, analysis of the role of social
>life and cooperation constitute a rich theoretical approach for
>understanding how children come to develop, understand, and use culturally
>developed mathematical representations".
>
>A new translation (made by Les Smith, UK) of Piaget's response to Vygotsky
>remarks about Piaget's theory is also published.
>
>May I quote from the introduction of one of the papers:
>
>"One might legitimately wonder why discussion of a collection of essays
>written between 40 to 70 years ago is appropriate for a journal entitled
>New Ideas in Psychology. But the issues Piaget discussed in these essays
>are of just as much importance today as they were at the time he was
>writing. This is because in these essays Piaget explored the role of social
>interaction in the development of knowledge from an epiistemological
>perspective."
