Abstract :In the realm of challenging subjects like mathematics, communication-driven learning environments assume paramount significance. Within these environments, gauging students\' grasp of mathematical concepts solely through immediate responses can prove to be a daunting task for educators. The unveiling of students\' intricate mathematical insights necessitates a platform of reciprocal dialogues, thought-provoking discussions, and engaging discourses. Mathematics pedagogy revolves around two distinct forms of learning: conceptual and procedural. The former, conceptual learning, empowers learners to organically construct intricate mathematical frameworks within their mental landscapes, interlinking various concepts harmoniously. It is within this context that the cultivation of students\' dialogues and interactive exchanges, integral components of a mathematically communicative learning environment, is believed to profoundly enhance their grasp of conceptual dimensions. This study endeavors to underscore the pivotal role of communication and discourses in education. It delves into the profound influence wielded by communication-centric learning settings in nurturing and actualizing conceptual learning. The investigation draws insights from pertinent literature, culminating in a comprehensive exploration of how mathematical communication-oriented learning environments serve as catalysts for the profound realization of conceptual understanding.Keywords : kavramsal öğrenme, söylemler, matematiksel iletişim
