Overview

Barbara Jaworski addresses a number of questions that are central to research on reform in mathematics education today. In this volume she attempts to chart critically yet honestly her own developing ideas as she undertakes a several-year-long enquiry into mathematics teaching and gives a very personal account of her developing conceptions, conjectures, thoughts and reflections. The author accounts for her research both genetically and biographically, simultaneously restructuring the development of her ideas and giving a rigorous, critical and reflective account.

The author charts her developing ideas as she undertakes a several-year-long inquiry into an investigative, constructivist approach to mathematics teaching. She presents an account of constructivism as a philosophy of knowledge and learning, provides a rationale for the research methods she employs, and details case studies in the teaching and thinking of three teachers. The research took place in the UK before the introduction of the National Curriculum. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
