Abstract

In this paper we consider the use of algebraic language in modelling and proving. We will show how a specific adaptation of Habermas' construct of rational behaviour allows to describe and interpret several kinds of students' difficulties and mistakes in a comprehensive way, provides the teacher with useful indications for the teaching of algebraic language and suggests further research developments.
