A Growing Need for Asian (American) Perspectives in Math Education
Page: 1424
Undergraduate mathematics features a significant presence of Asian students, whether international or American (NCES). These students naturally bring their views on learning mathematics from their cultural experiences. However, researchers often adopt theories of learning and teaching that may not fully incorporate the students’ viewpoints when developing instructional materials and analyzing student reasoning. This proposal aims to foreground Asian scholarship by reviewing existing literature in this regard and intends to open a venue for discussing ways the RUME community could begin addressing this issue.
