Abstract

At CERME9 the author and Bibbò presented “relationships”, as an interesting construct for affect research and began a ‘sort’ of characterization of the term “relationship”, aimed at setting up a “sort” of implicit definition of the term, borrowing the process from the construction of an axiomatic theory in mathematics. This paper deals with the study that followed, and the correlating presentation of a mathematics teacher figure as an “attuned mathematics teacher”. Both the issues refer to the Attachment Theory by Bowlby, and Neuroscience results.
