Title

Rethinking Problem-Posing Situations: A Review.

Authors

Baumanns, Lukas; Rott, Benjamin

Abstract

In research on mathematical problem posing, a broad spectrum of different situations is used to induce the activity of posing problems. This review aims at characterizing these so-called problem-posing situations by conducting three consecutive analyses: (1) By analyzing the openness of potential problem-posing situations, the concept of "mathematical posing" is concretized. (2) The problem-posing situations are assigned to the categories free, semi-structured, and structured by Stoyanova and Ellerton to illustrate the distribution of situations used in research. (3) Finally, the initial problems of the structured problem-posing situations are analyzed with regard to whether they are routine or non-routine problems. These analyses are conducted on 271 potential problem-posing situations from 241 systematically gathered articles on problem posing. The purpose of this review is to provide a framework for the identification of differences between problem-posing situations.
