This book explicates some of the fundamental philosophical tenets
underpinning key theoretical frameworks, and demonstrates how these
tenets inform particular kinds of research practice in mathematics
education research. We believe that a deep understanding of
significant theories from the humanities and social sciences is
crucial for doing high-quality research in education. For that
reason, this book focuses on six key theoretical sources, unpacking
their relevance and application to specific research examples. We
situate these key theorists within a larger framework pertaining to
the history of thought more generally, and discuss how competing
theories of teaching and learning differ in terms of their
philosophical assumptions. In so doing, we offer context and
motivation for particular research methods, with the agenda of
helping researchers reflect on why particular approaches and not
others might work for them.
