Mathematics education researchers’ practices in interdisciplinary collaborations: Embracing different ways of knowing Mathematics Education Research Journal Pub Date : 2024-04-19 Elizabeth Suazo-Flores, William S. Walker, Signe E. Kastberg, Mahtob Aqazade, Hanan Alyami
Mathematics education researchers (MERs) use practices unique to the mathematics education discipline to conduct their work. MERs’ practices, i.e., ways of being, interacting, and operating, define the field of mathematics education, are initially learned in doctoral preparation programs, and are encouraged and sanctioned by conferences and publications. Disciplinary practices facilitate MERs’ interactions

Using decision theory to understand preservice teachers’ implementations of mathematical modelling Mathematics Education Research Journal Pub Date : 2022-10-25 Ragnhild Hansen
In this study, we aim to explain choices that groups of preservice teachers made to implement modelling tasks in primary school. We found that the preservice teachers decided to facilitate everyday-inspired contexts for the tasks and that this could be explained by their reasoning that modelling is supposed to be an activity close to reality. Essentially, the groups preferred two different approaches
