520 |a An overview is first given of some main theoretical frameworks underlying current European research in mathematical thinking, learning, and teaching. Together with the information-processing and the (neo)-Piagetian approaches, both well known in the United States, two other research paradigms can be distinguished: the action-oriented approach to learning and instruction developed in the Soviet Union, and the so-called realistic approach. Each is described, with implications. In the next section, European research in the domain of elementary arithmetic word problems is discussed. The focus is on three topics: task characteristics, children's solution processes, and teaching experiments. It is demonstrated that this European research, which is largely unknown to American scientists, has provided insights and findings some of which replicate those of recent American studies, but others of which provide criticisms and completions on this work. A list of 57 references is appended. (MNS)
