The provocative contributions to Opening the Research Text reflect
current interest in the political and cultural underpinnings of
mathematics education. With 22 contributors including both
established researchers and newcomers, this innovative
research-oriented volume challenges traditional theories and
"comforting narratives" of pedagogy through realistic, non-linear
scenarios reflecting the ambiguities and power relationships of the
classroom. By alternating research chapters with inventive
responses (including poetry, concept mapping, graphic novel, and
collage), the editors present theoretical as well as practice-based
possibilities in areas as diverse as arts-based inquiry and social
justice pedagogy, all in relation to mathematics education. These
multiple calls to action will inspire readers to:
- Rethink the accessibility and impact of their classroom
work.
- Consider the value of poststructuralist strategies to
curriculum theory.
- Explore alternate research paradigms in mathematics
education.
- Trace the intersections of power, economics and
mathematics.
- Critically examine the discourse of school mathematics and
policy documents.
- Engage in self-study, writing their own stories of insight and
in(ter)vention.
Opening the Research Text asks teachers, researchers and
scholars to add to the dialogue that is transforming the
mathematics education field, and leads new educators toward
insights into their careers and the students and communities they
serve. Additionally, the book can be a primary graduate or
supplementary undergraduate text in education ormathematics
education.
