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.
