Research in courses before calculus through the lens of social justice
Page: 1603
The terms equity, diversity, inclusion, and social justice have entered the research lexicon. Thistheoretically-focused poster presents some recent policy efforts to generate a shared meaning for“social justice” in mathematics education and offers a theoretical framework for making senseof (and making sense with) intercultural interactions as an essential component of rigorousresearch. The poster includes illustrations for how to use these tools for thinking through andtalking about research. To anchor discussion, we focus on research on teaching and learning inthe courses before calculus (e.g., algebra, mathematics for pre-service elementary teachers).
