Critical Mathematics Education by Paul Ernest (Editor); Bharath Sriraman (Editor); Nuala Ernest (Editor)
Call Number: eBook
ISBN: 9781681232614
Publication Date: 2016-01-01
Mathematics is traditionally seen as the most neutral of disciplines, the furthest removed from the arguments and controversy of politics and social life. However, critical mathematics challenges these assumptions and actively attacks the idea that mathematics is pure, objective, and value-neutral. It argues that history, society, and politics have shaped mathematics-not only through its applications and uses but also through molding its concepts, methods, and even mathematical truth and proof, the very means of establishing truth. Critical mathematics education also attacks the neutrality of the teaching and learning of mathematics, showing how these are value-laden activities indissolubly linked to social and political life. Instead, it argues that the values of openness, dialogically, criticality towards received opinion, empowerment of the learner, and social/political engagement and citizenship are necessary dimensions of the teaching and learning of mathematics if it is to contribute towards democracy and social justice. This book draws together critical theoretic contributions on mathematics and mathematics education from leading researchers in the field.

Praxis

The PRAXIS Series

The Praxis Series tests measure teacher candidates' knowledge and skills. The tests are used for licensing and certification processes and include:

Praxis I Pre-Professional Skills Tests (PPST): These tests measure basic skills in reading, writing and mathematics. In addition to licensure, these tests are often used to qualify candidates for entry into a teacher education program.

Praxis II Subject Assessments: These tests measure subject-specific content knowledge, as well as general and subject-specific teaching skills, that you need for beginning teaching.
