"Multiple Perspectives on Mathematics Teaching and Learning"
offers a collection of chapters that take a new look at mathematics
education. Leading authors, such as Deborah Ball, Paul Cobb, Jim
Greeno, Stephen Lerman, and Michael Apple, draw from a range of
perspectives in their analyses of mathematics teaching and
learning. They address such practical problems as: the design of
teaching and research that acknowledges the social nature of
learning, maximizing the impact of teacher education programs,
increasing the learning opportunities of students working in
groups, and ameliorating the impact of male domination in mixed
classrooms.
These practical insights are combined with important advances in
theory. Several of the authors address the nature of learning and
teaching, including the ways in which theories and practices of
mathematics education recognize learning as simultaneously social
and individual. The issues addressed include teaching practices,
equity, language, assessment, group work and the broader political
context of mathematics reform. The contributors variously employ
sociological, anthropological, psychological, sociocultural,
political, and mathematical perspectives to produce powerful
analyses of mathematics teaching and learning.
