Mathematics education for a better life ? – voices from MES6 participants João Filipe Matos Institute of Education, University of Lisbon 6th Mathematics Education and Society Conference | Berlin | 23 March 2010
dedicated to my friend Ole Skovsmose
Exames? não, obrigado! João Filipe Matos Por alguma razão pouco clara, parece existir uma fé generalizada na bondade dos testes e dos exames escolares, um pouco em todos os níveis. Parece acreditar-se mais na objectividade do resultado das medições das aprendizagens quando efectuadas através de um teste escrito realizado durante um tempo limitado em condições geralmente bastante formais e sob uma fiscalização atenta, do que numa avaliação…  Newspaper PUBLICO 3 Sep 2006
[object Object],(...) While assuming the rigour of quantification people forget that this is just (mathematical) models that may be useful or not and that can represent better or worse a certain situation. (...)

A educação matemática como fenómeno emergente: desafios e perspectivas possíveis João Filipe Matos, CIEFUL (2006)
“ Segundo, o ênfase deve ser colocado na educação matemática (dos jovens) e não no ensino de matemática. No editorial do número temático da revista Quadrante sobre Educação Matemática e Cidadania (Matos, 2002) argumentei que a disciplina de Matemática deve ser urgentemente eliminada dos currículos do ensino básico. Em vez da disciplina de matemática proponho a criação da disciplina de educação matemática com o objectivo essencial de contribuir para o desenvolvimento de um ponto de vista matemático sobre as coisas . Isto significa naturalmente que as crianças precisarão de conhecer alguns factos matemáticos mas significa também que o essencial da disciplina não será a matemática mas o seu uso como um dos recursos estruturantes do pensamento, da reflexão e da acção (...)”
“ a disciplina de Matemática deve ser urgentemente eliminada dos currículos do ensino básico” “ Mathematics should be eliminated from the curriculum in basic education” Newspaper Expresso
What does it mean to be critical? Do I want to take the risks involved? Do I really want to be whom (it seems) I want to be?
interrogating critical mathematics education
Voices from MES6 participants Maths Ed vs Critical Maths Ed CME  <........> (author) ME  <.......> (author)
CME  the relationship between mathematics education and power and in changing mathematics education to make the world a more equitable place (H. M.) ME  a field of research that I'm involved in (H. M.)
CME  field concerned with the social and political aspects of mathematics education (A. P.) ME  the field concerned with the teaching and learning of mathematics (A. P.)
CME  mathematics education as part of the society, critical mathematics education may have the possibility to improve social justice by addressing conflicts and crises in society (E. N.) ME  the field of the teaching and learning of mathematics, though the field is more complex than just teaching and learning (E. N.)
CME  development of the ability of people  to understand and apply mathematical thinking and actions in order to better understand and critique practices in society (V. F.) ME  The development of the ability of people  to understand,and apply mathematical thinking and actions, and consequently promoting the greater frequency of such thinking and actions in society (V. F.)
CME  a &quot;subfield&quot; within mathematics education dealing with issues such as equity, social justice and the social-political function of mathematics education. It offers some perspectives on what mathematics and mathematics education is or should be about  (M. J.) ME  the practice of teaching and learning mathematics but it is also the practice of research on the teaching and learning of mathematics (M. J.)
CME  domain of particular issues highlighted and deconstructed as one teaches and learns  about  (and  through ) the discursive practices of mathematics (e.g. inclusion/exclusion in communities of learners, what it means to know/learn/do mathematics and who decides) (K. N.) ME  teaching and learning  about , and  through , the subject area of mathematics (K. N.)
CME  the  application  of mathematics education to question taken for granted assumptions about society (P. G.) ME  the  process  of opening people's minds to the nature of our way of imposing and recognising pattern and abstraction on the natural world (P. G.)
CME  a not yet realised  form of mathematics education  that aims at providing equal access to powerful mathematical discourses as well as to a discourse that aims at understanding socio-mathematical practices and their concomitant discourses (E. J.) ME  institutionalised pedagogic  practices  and the (not explicitly pedagogic)  practices  (e.g. learning by participation at workplaces) of teaching and learning activities  that involve mathematical knowledge , as well as the research activities that describe and theorise these practices, including research that is directed towards studying the social, economic and political conditions and consequences of those practices (E. J.)
CME  math education that includes attention to how math is  used  in the world and discussion of whether those  uses  are ethical or not AND using  math to understand injustices and  act  to change those injustices  (M. F.) ME   learning  about mathematics (M. F.)
CME  explores the ways in which mathematics can be used to  critique  society and societal norms,  empowers  individuals to see their own position within the world and to begin to understand how individuals and communities are positioned by societal structures, supports political engagment with the world (T. C.) ME   allows  individuals  access  to a wide range of career opportunities  AND gives us a powerful way of viweing and  interpreting  the world. (T. C.)
CME  as above but  with  a perspective that understands mathematics and education as practices within society and considers the practices of mathematics education as having a potentially transformative role towards a more just society. (C. M.) ME  the  practices  of teaching, studying and learning mathematics and managing and regulating the institutional context within which this takes place, in particular the mathematics curriculum AND the  field  of academic study that takes these practices as its domain (C. M.)
CME  an  approach  to mathematics education aiming at spotting and analyzing the socio-political roles mathematics education play or might play in particular socio-polityical contexts. (D. C.) ME  a  field  of practice, where teachers and students are involved to the teaching and learning of mathematics AND a  field  of scientific inquiry on  the practice of mathematics teaching and learning at all levels in the educational system and at all areas outside the educational system in which mathematics is embedded.(D. C.)
CME  mathematics education with a ‘social conscience’ and links to conceptions of ‘critical social science’, with a link to thinkers such as Habermas and Freire (T. B.) ME  the  interface  of humans and mathematics, perhaps how humans apprehend mathematics, perhaps with some discussion of how activities might be facilitated for this mode of apprehension to change (T. B.)
CME  taking a position on issues in mathematics education from a standpoint. I suppose that is general enough to include those who take a conservative position when applying a gaze on the field, though my heart tells me that I am referring to critical from a left position, as in Habermas (S. L.) ME   field  of research in teaching and learning, policy, ethics, sociology, etc. in relation to mathematics (S. L.)
CME  an  approach  that support a person to see Mathematics as a part of the society (e.g. issues related to equity, justice and democratic participation citizens in society). This could include to become critical of the cultural practices that produce mathematics education in the context of techno-science  (S. A.) ME   part of   engagement  in the processes where one has possibility to read and engage with society in an active manner (S. A.)
CME   analysis  of the assumptions, goals, institutions, and practices of mathematics education (B. G.) ME  should be  part of a liberal education  that combines the intellectual/aesthetic study of patterns and structures with the analysis of applications of those patterns and structures to physical and social phenomena. It should also include study of the diversity of mathematical practices, and of the sociocultural history of mathematics (B. G.)
CME   reading and writing  the world with mathematics.&quot;, learning to use mathematics to study social reality and the genesis of oppression, exploitation, inequality, and injustice--in order to change that reality, to understand the sociopolitical, cultural history of mathematics (R. G.) ME   learning  how to understand and use mathematics, teachers learning how to teach mathematics, and teacher educators learning how to teach mathematics education to pre- and in-service teachers (R. G.)
CME  uses the tools of mathematics to  interrogate  social inequality and injustice and to find ways of acting to work against oppression and marginalisation and for social justice (K. B.) ME   induction  of young people into the discipline and practices of mathematics so that it can be an empowering tool for them - enabling them to transform their own ways of seeing and acting in the world, and transforming the world for the good of everyone (K. B.)
CME  a  critique of the use  of mathematics in society is brought to the center of the education (H. W.) ME  means to  increase participation  of the individual in a very math-oriented world (H. W.)
CME   connects  the politics in society with the politics of ME (as a field of production of discourse) and with ME (as the reproductory field) (U. G.) ME   includes  both the science and the praxis of mathematics teaching and learning AND a scholarly reflection on the epistemology and the ontology and the praxeology of mathematics both in academia and in our lives (U. G.)

Too few qualified and critical teachers 3. The problem of naturalisation of mathematical understanding on the side of many people involved in research in mathematics education (E. J.)
with a  strong focus on education   Critical issues in mathematics education 1. teacher development 2. class size too big for adequate attention 3. for the most part it is divorced from the world and taught as a series of algorithms to memorize (M. F.)
with a  strong focus on education   Critical issues in mathematics education 1. Unequal access to mathematics qualifications 2. Inequitable resourcing of mathematics teaching and learning across groups 3. A belief that 'setting' or 'streaming' leads to effective teaching and learning of mathematics. (T. C.)
with a  strong focus on education   Critical issues in mathematics education 1. Low pedagogic training of teachers. 2. Low sensibility of teachers about mathematics education 3. Low infra-strutural and material  resources (R. G.)
with a  focus on education addressing the social   Critical issues in mathematics education 1. Mathematics as discipline has a powerful position in the context of Pakistan. This legitimizes the idea that Mathematics has a essence. (...) How to shake this idea of mathematics-has-a-essence and support the thinking that mathematics is a part of human creation and as human creation it is created through different cultural practices and historical traditions and these cultural practices could be questioned? 2. How can we support efforts that Critical Mathematics Education becomes more accessible to people? 2. Relating concern for Critical mathematics education with the critical citizenship? (S. Ali Baber)
with a  focus on education addressing the social   Critical issues in mathematics education 1. Multilingualism. 2. Assessment (as a broad notion) 3. Who decides what counts as mathematics knowing and why
with a  focus on education addressing the social   Critical issues in mathematics education 1. Centralized pressure to succumb to mathematics that is devoid of people's history and politics. 2. Pressure to testing and hence teaching to testing. Reward system defined and measured by test results. 3. Denial (except for occasional lip service) of serious linguistic consequences of mathematics learning. (S. M.)
with a  focus on education addressing the social   Critical issues in mathematics education 1. A crisis - the vast majority of learners do not learn even the basics of arithmetic and never gain access to the power of mathematics 2. Teacher development - many teachers do not have the kinds of mathematical knowledge required to support learners' access to the power of mathematics 3. Curriculum - the government seems to be moving towards prescribed curricula, even scripted lessons. (K. B.)
with a  strong focus on the social   Critical issues in mathematics education 1. Mathematics (education) is implicated in neoliberal economic systems. 2. Mathematics (education) is implicated in militarism (and thus in our current military engagements). 3. Mathematics education is part of the way in which inequalities of social class, race and gender are reproduced.(H. M.)
with a  strong focus on the social   Critical issues in mathematics education 1) Excessive governmental interference in education. 2) Excessive governmental interference in education. 3) Excessive governmental interference in education.(T. B.)
with a  strong focus on the social   Critical issues in mathematics education 1. The continuing strong association of disadvantage and underachievement in school mathematics. 2. The very strong regulation by Government on teaching and learning in UK schools. 3. The national acceptance of the need for placing children in ability sets from a very young age. (S. L.)

Mathematics education for a better life? Voices of participants at 6th Mathematics Education and Society Conference

  • 1. Mathematics education for a better life ? – voices from MES6 participants João Filipe Matos Institute of Education, University of Lisbon 6th Mathematics Education and Society Conference | Berlin | 23 March 2010
  • 2. dedicated to my friend Ole Skovsmose
  • 3. Exames? não, obrigado! João Filipe Matos Por alguma razão pouco clara, parece existir uma fé generalizada na bondade dos testes e dos exames escolares, um pouco em todos os níveis. Parece acreditar-se mais na objectividade do resultado das medições das aprendizagens quando efectuadas através de um teste escrito realizado durante um tempo limitado em condições geralmente bastante formais e sob uma fiscalização atenta, do que numa avaliação… Newspaper PUBLICO 3 Sep 2006

  • 5.
  • 6.
  • 7. A educação matemática como fenómeno emergente: desafios e perspectivas possíveis João Filipe Matos, CIEFUL (2006)
  • 8. “ Segundo, o ênfase deve ser colocado na educação matemática (dos jovens) e não no ensino de matemática. No editorial do número temático da revista Quadrante sobre Educação Matemática e Cidadania (Matos, 2002) argumentei que a disciplina de Matemática deve ser urgentemente eliminada dos currículos do ensino básico. Em vez da disciplina de matemática proponho a criação da disciplina de educação matemática com o objectivo essencial de contribuir para o desenvolvimento de um ponto de vista matemático sobre as coisas . Isto significa naturalmente que as crianças precisarão de conhecer alguns factos matemáticos mas significa também que o essencial da disciplina não será a matemática mas o seu uso como um dos recursos estruturantes do pensamento, da reflexão e da acção (...)”
  • 9. “ a disciplina de Matemática deve ser urgentemente eliminada dos currículos do ensino básico” “ Mathematics should be eliminated from the curriculum in basic education” Newspaper Expresso
  • 10. What does it mean to be critical? Do I want to take the risks involved? Do I really want to be whom (it seems) I want to be?
  • 12. Voices from MES6 participants Maths Ed vs Critical Maths Ed CME <........> (author) ME <.......> (author)
  • 13. CME the relationship between mathematics education and power and in changing mathematics education to make the world a more equitable place (H. M.) ME a field of research that I'm involved in (H. M.)
  • 14. CME field concerned with the social and political aspects of mathematics education (A. P.) ME the field concerned with the teaching and learning of mathematics (A. P.)
  • 15. CME mathematics education as part of the society, critical mathematics education may have the possibility to improve social justice by addressing conflicts and crises in society (E. N.) ME the field of the teaching and learning of mathematics, though the field is more complex than just teaching and learning (E. N.)
  • 16. CME development of the ability of people to understand and apply mathematical thinking and actions in order to better understand and critique practices in society (V. F.) ME The development of the ability of people to understand,and apply mathematical thinking and actions, and consequently promoting the greater frequency of such thinking and actions in society (V. F.)
  • 17. CME a &quot;subfield&quot; within mathematics education dealing with issues such as equity, social justice and the social-political function of mathematics education. It offers some perspectives on what mathematics and mathematics education is or should be about (M. J.) ME the practice of teaching and learning mathematics but it is also the practice of research on the teaching and learning of mathematics (M. J.)
  • 18. CME domain of particular issues highlighted and deconstructed as one teaches and learns about (and through ) the discursive practices of mathematics (e.g. inclusion/exclusion in communities of learners, what it means to know/learn/do mathematics and who decides) (K. N.) ME teaching and learning about , and through , the subject area of mathematics (K. N.)
  • 19. CME the application of mathematics education to question taken for granted assumptions about society (P. G.) ME the process of opening people's minds to the nature of our way of imposing and recognising pattern and abstraction on the natural world (P. G.)
  • 20. CME a not yet realised form of mathematics education that aims at providing equal access to powerful mathematical discourses as well as to a discourse that aims at understanding socio-mathematical practices and their concomitant discourses (E. J.) ME institutionalised pedagogic practices and the (not explicitly pedagogic) practices (e.g. learning by participation at workplaces) of teaching and learning activities that involve mathematical knowledge , as well as the research activities that describe and theorise these practices, including research that is directed towards studying the social, economic and political conditions and consequences of those practices (E. J.)
  • 21. CME math education that includes attention to how math is used in the world and discussion of whether those uses are ethical or not AND using math to understand injustices and act to change those injustices (M. F.) ME learning about mathematics (M. F.)
  • 22. CME explores the ways in which mathematics can be used to critique society and societal norms, empowers individuals to see their own position within the world and to begin to understand how individuals and communities are positioned by societal structures, supports political engagment with the world (T. C.) ME allows individuals access to a wide range of career opportunities AND gives us a powerful way of viweing and interpreting the world. (T. C.)
  • 23. CME as above but with a perspective that understands mathematics and education as practices within society and considers the practices of mathematics education as having a potentially transformative role towards a more just society. (C. M.) ME the practices of teaching, studying and learning mathematics and managing and regulating the institutional context within which this takes place, in particular the mathematics curriculum AND the field of academic study that takes these practices as its domain (C. M.)
  • 24. CME an approach to mathematics education aiming at spotting and analyzing the socio-political roles mathematics education play or might play in particular socio-polityical contexts. (D. C.) ME a field of practice, where teachers and students are involved to the teaching and learning of mathematics AND a field of scientific inquiry on the practice of mathematics teaching and learning at all levels in the educational system and at all areas outside the educational system in which mathematics is embedded.(D. C.)
  • 25. CME mathematics education with a ‘social conscience’ and links to conceptions of ‘critical social science’, with a link to thinkers such as Habermas and Freire (T. B.) ME the interface of humans and mathematics, perhaps how humans apprehend mathematics, perhaps with some discussion of how activities might be facilitated for this mode of apprehension to change (T. B.)
  • 26. CME taking a position on issues in mathematics education from a standpoint. I suppose that is general enough to include those who take a conservative position when applying a gaze on the field, though my heart tells me that I am referring to critical from a left position, as in Habermas (S. L.) ME field of research in teaching and learning, policy, ethics, sociology, etc. in relation to mathematics (S. L.)
  • 27. CME an approach that support a person to see Mathematics as a part of the society (e.g. issues related to equity, justice and democratic participation citizens in society). This could include to become critical of the cultural practices that produce mathematics education in the context of techno-science (S. A.) ME part of engagement in the processes where one has possibility to read and engage with society in an active manner (S. A.)
  • 28. CME analysis of the assumptions, goals, institutions, and practices of mathematics education (B. G.) ME should be part of a liberal education that combines the intellectual/aesthetic study of patterns and structures with the analysis of applications of those patterns and structures to physical and social phenomena. It should also include study of the diversity of mathematical practices, and of the sociocultural history of mathematics (B. G.)
  • 29. CME reading and writing the world with mathematics.&quot;, learning to use mathematics to study social reality and the genesis of oppression, exploitation, inequality, and injustice--in order to change that reality, to understand the sociopolitical, cultural history of mathematics (R. G.) ME learning how to understand and use mathematics, teachers learning how to teach mathematics, and teacher educators learning how to teach mathematics education to pre- and in-service teachers (R. G.)
  • 30. CME uses the tools of mathematics to interrogate social inequality and injustice and to find ways of acting to work against oppression and marginalisation and for social justice (K. B.) ME induction of young people into the discipline and practices of mathematics so that it can be an empowering tool for them - enabling them to transform their own ways of seeing and acting in the world, and transforming the world for the good of everyone (K. B.)
  • 31. CME a critique of the use of mathematics in society is brought to the center of the education (H. W.) ME means to increase participation of the individual in a very math-oriented world (H. W.)
  • 32. CME connects the politics in society with the politics of ME (as a field of production of discourse) and with ME (as the reproductory field) (U. G.) ME includes both the science and the praxis of mathematics teaching and learning AND a scholarly reflection on the epistemology and the ontology and the praxeology of mathematics both in academia and in our lives (U. G.)

  • 46. with a focus on education addressing the social Critical issues in mathematics education 1. Mathematics as discipline has a powerful position in the context of Pakistan. This legitimizes the idea that Mathematics has a essence. (...) How to shake this idea of mathematics-has-a-essence and support the thinking that mathematics is a part of human creation and as human creation it is created through different cultural practices and historical traditions and these cultural practices could be questioned? 2. How can we support efforts that Critical Mathematics Education becomes more accessible to people? 2. Relating concern for Critical mathematics education with the critical citizenship? (S. Ali Baber)

  • 49. with a focus on education addressing the social Critical issues in mathematics education 1. A crisis - the vast majority of learners do not learn even the basics of arithmetic and never gain access to the power of mathematics 2. Teacher development - many teachers do not have the kinds of mathematical knowledge required to support learners' access to the power of mathematics 3. Curriculum - the government seems to be moving towards prescribed curricula, even scripted lessons. (K. B.)
  • 50. with a strong focus on the social Critical issues in mathematics education 1. Mathematics (education) is implicated in neoliberal economic systems. 2. Mathematics (education) is implicated in militarism (and thus in our current military engagements). 3.
