Is it Possible to Instruct College Students in the Role of Inventors? A Case Study of a Mathematics Instructor in India
Page: 809
This qualitative case study attempts to understand instructional goals that a mathematics instructor in India sets and envisions for engaging students. The instructor participated in a professional development program provided by the authors on the active role of students in learning mathematics. The authors’ interpretations from three interviews were guided by two theoretical lenses of Realistic Mathematics Education and Rehumanizing Mathematics. In return, the interpretations offer a context to imagine how the lenses might interact.
