Abstract

Mathematical reasoning and mathematical communication are two fundamental dimensions of learning mathematics in higher education that are often investigated separately. This article aims to reconceptualize their relationship through an epistemic–discursive perspective, viewing reasoning and communication as mutually constitutive practices in undergraduate students’ mathematical activity. The study employs a systematic literature review of articles published in internationally reputable journals over the last decade that address mathematical reasoning, communication, argumentation, and discourse in higher education contexts. The synthesis was conducted using thematic synthesis enriched by theoretical analysis. The findings indicate that mathematical reasoning cannot be fully understood without considering the communicative dimension and the discursive norms that mediate it, while mathematical communication functions as a medium of thinking and meaning-making rather than merely a means of expression. Based on these findings, the article proposes an integrative conceptual framework that positions mathematical argumentation and epistemic norms as central mediators between students’ reasoning and communication. This study contributes theoretically by offering a reconceptualization of reasoning and communication that is relevant for research and teaching in undergraduate mathematics education.

Abstract

Mathematical conceptual understanding is a fundamental goal of mathematics education, particularly in higher education where students are required to engage with abstract concepts, formal structures, and relationships among mathematical ideas. However, research consistently indicates that instructional practices tend to prioritise procedural success over the development of deep conceptual understanding. This article aims to systematically synthesise research on undergraduate students’ mathematical conceptual understanding by adopting an epistemic–discursive perspective. A systematic literature review was conducted on Scopus-indexed journal articles published between 2014 and 2024 that focus on higher education mathematics. The findings indicate that mathematical conceptual understanding is constructed through the interaction of mathematical representations, discourse and communication, mathematical reasoning, and epistemic norms embedded in learning environments. The review also reveals that conceptual understanding should not be viewed solely as an individual cognitive attribute, but rather as a practice that develops through students’ participation in formal mathematical activity. Based on this synthesis, the article proposes an integrative conceptual framework that positions mathematical conceptual understanding as an epistemic–discursive practice. This framework is expected to contribute to theoretical advancement and inform future research and instructional design in undergraduate mathematics education.
