This open access book provides key insights into the social fundamentals of learning and indications of social interactive modes conducive and restrictive of that learning in China. Combining theoretical and technical advances in an innovative research design, this book focuses on collaborative problem solving in mathematics to increase the visibility of social interactions in teachers’ designing, students’ learning and teachers’ instructional intervention. It also explores students’ cognitive and social interaction as well as teacher intervention in students’ group collaboration.

Is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access Explores students’ group collaboration process from the perspective of cognitive and social interaction Investigates teachers’ intervention behavior and the cognitive process behind it Offers evidence about the validity of prior theories to different situation
