Abstract [en]
There are examples of conceptual incoherencies within the field of mathematics education. In this paper, a concept analysis of the notion concept in Tall’s framework of Three worlds of mathematics is conducted. In the first phase of the study, an analysing tool is constructed from a literature review in philosophy and cognitive science. This tool makes two distinctions. One distinction is between views considering concepts as abstract and views considering concepts as mental. The other distinction is between views considering concepts as intersubjective and views considering concepts as subjective. Preliminary results show that different views on concept are mixed in the framework of Three worlds of mathematics.
