The Philosophy of Mathematics Education Today (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book offers an up-to-date overview of the research on philosophy of mathematics education, one of the most important and relevant areas of theory. The contributions analyse, question, challenge, and critique the claims of mathematics education practice, policy, theory and research, offering ways forward for new and better solutions. The book poses basic questions, including: What are our aims of teaching and learning mathematics? What is mathematics anyway? How is mathematics related to society in the 21st century? How do students learn mathematics? What have we learnt about mathematics teaching? Applied philosophy can help to answer these and other fundamental questions, and only through an in-depth analysis can the practice of the teaching and learning of mathematics be improved. The book addresses important themes, such as critical mathematics education, the traditional role of mathematics in schools during the current unprecedented political, social, and environmental crises,and the way in which the teaching and learning of mathematics can better serve social justice and make the world a better place for the future.

Rezensionen

"This book should be a valuable reference for PhD fellows and their supervisors-and anyone interested in the nature and impact of mathematics education. ... I am confident that The Philosophy of Mathematics Education Today will stimulate reflection and reaction, and inform a broad range of readers, including experienced researchers in mathematics education and mathematics, mathematics teachers, PhD advisors, and fellows." (Simon Goodchild, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 103, 2020)
