How to do Educational Research in University Mathematics? PDF
Spring 2003, Volume 13, Number 1, Pages 33-40
Abstract:
Situated as a Ph.D. student in university mathematics education, I present
some of my considerations about my identity as a researcher in this field.
I discuss the larger global and local societal issues and their connections
to educational research in university mathematics. My discussion goes beyond
personal considerations and touches upon the structures and ideas that are
both internal and external to university mathematics education. I discuss
the different political projects that I can identify from my personal experiences
across the fields of educational research, practice, and policy in university
mathematics. I place myself firmly within the tradition of critical education,
but also draw on postmodern theories. The results of the discussion are the
identification of challenges for a postmodern critical mathematics education,
with a focus on university mathematics.
