Beskrivning
This book brings together scholars working in the field of mathematics education to examine the ways in which learners form particular relationships with mathematics in the context of formal schooling. While demand for the mathematically literate citizen increases, many learners continue to reject mathematics and experience it as excluding and exclusive, even when they succeed at it. In exploring this phenomenon, this volume focuses on learners' developing sense of self and their understanding of the part played by mathematics in it. It recognizes the part played by emotional responses, the functioning of classroom communities of practice, and by discourses of mathematics education in this process. It thus blends perspectives from psychoanalysis, socio-cultural theory and discursive approaches in a focus on the classic issues of selection and assessment, pedagogy, curriculum, choice, and teacher development.

Laura Black is a lecturer at the University of Manchester. Her research interests focus on pedagogic processes in the classroom and the construction of learner identities particularly in relation to mathematics. She is currently working on several projects on widening participation in mathematically demanding programmes within post compulsory education. Heather Mendick is Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Education, London Metropolitan University, and lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London. In her research, she works across education, gender studies, sociology and cultural studies and is particularly interested in influences of popular culture on identities and aspirations. She used to be a mathematics teacher.Yvette Solomon is Professor of Education at the Education and Social Research Institute at Manchester Metropolitan University.

She is the author of The Practice of Mathematics, and of Mathematical Literacy, both published by Routledge.

Recensioner i media

"The book represents an impressive attempt to get to the heart of mathematical relationships. The chapters are very much grounded in the realities of everyday concerns within mathematics education: selection and assessment; pedagogy; curriculum; choice; teacher development. Importantly, the authors avoid a sensationalized treatment of the issues under interrogation. In addition, they neither propose a highly theoretical nor an exclusively practical methods approach. Rather, the book constructs a dialogue between theory and empirical evidence across three theoretical lenses (sociocultural, discursive, and psychoanalytic), exposing the tensions amongst them. But the book goes further: it identifies points of settlement amongst the three approaches that might lead to new knowledge not only for research not also for policy and practice." -Margaret Walshaw, Massey University, New Zealand
