Abstract

Collaborative problem-solving’s popularity for encouraging meaningful learning is increasing, both in general, and particularly in mathematics. However, little is known about the processes of collaborative learning in university-level mathematics. Hence, we studied the activity of a pair of students working on a linear-algebra problem. We analysed the mathematical routines they followed and found there was a commognitive conflict that impeded the effectiveness of the collaborative learning activity. We point to further research directions regarding the effectiveness of collaborative learning in university-level mathematics.
