In a recent issue of Mathematical Thinking and Learning, Drodge and Reid (2000) expressed the hope that the concept of an emotional orientation may prove useful in analyzing, interpreting, and researching mathematical activity. I comment on two main themes addressed in this article: (a) the conceptual analysis of structures or processes (e.g., cognition and emotion) presumed to operate within the individual, and (b) the interchange between these "internal structures" and the broader notion of a community emotional orientation. Drodge and Reid's enactivist perspective provides an alternative conceptualization of intra- and interpersonal functioning. This article raises many salient questions concerning the origin and nature of human cognition and emotion, as well as their interconnections with community emotional orientations. My goal is to draw attention to several issues that warrant further theoretical and research attention. The commentary is meant as a constructive, as opposed to a critical, reaction to the authors' work, which reflects my academic emotional orientation and that expressed by English (2000).

机译:在最近一期的《数学思维与学习》中,Drodge and Reid(2000)表示希望情感取向的概念在分析,解释和研究数学活动中可能有用。我评论了本文中涉及的两个主要主题:(a)假定在个体内部运作的结构或过程(例如,认知和情感)的概念分析,以及(b)这些“内部结构”与更广泛的领域之间的互换社区情感取向的概念。德罗格和里德的积极主义者观点为人际和人际功能提供了另一种概念。本文提出了许多有关人类认知和情感的起源和性质以及它们与社区情感取向的相互联系的突出问题。我的目标是引起对一些值得理论和研究进一步关注的问题的关注。评论是对作者作品的建设性而非批判性反应,反映了我的学术情感取向和英语(2000)所表达的情感取向。
