Abstract
To improve instruction, conduct communicable studies on student intuition, and provide an entry point for researchers interested in this area, the meaning of intuition in mathematics education needs to be addressed. This paper reviews 816 journal papers from top tier mathematics education journals to obtain an updated conceptualization of the intuition construct. Different research camps, such as a camp focused on instructional design that leverages learners’ primary intuitions in the classroom and a camp concerned with sources of errors through the lens of intuitive rules theory, emerged. A critical discussion of theoretical choices for intuition research will be followed by several directions for future research on intuition specific to university mathematics education.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Mathematical Behavior solicits original research on the learning and teaching of mathematics. We are interested especially in basic research, research that aims to clarify, in detail and depth, how mathematical ideas develop in learners. Over three decades, our experience confirms a founding premise of this journal: that mathematical thinking, hence mathematics learning as a social enterprise, is special. It is special because mathematics is special, both logically and psychologically. Logically, through the way that mathematical ideas and methods have been built, refined and organized for centuries across a range of cultures; and psychologically, through the variety of ways people today, in many walks of life, make sense of mathematics, develop it, make it their own.
