Argumentaciones y demostraciones: una visión de la influencia de los escenarios socioculturales

this paper presents a vision of mathematical arguments and demonstrations from a socio-epistemological point of view. it allows us to understand that the arguments used in different settings are different to those of deductive arguments. the presence in classrooms of different types of arguments cannot always be explained using aristotelian logic. likewise, the non-appearance of forms based on aristotelian logic in non-mathematical settings, provides us with the possibility of understanding that, with regards socio-cultural aspects, arguments are constructed in non-academic settings which are transferred by students to school settings, due to the fact that they simultaneously experience both settings.
