Discourse Research in Mathematics Education: A Critical Evaluation of 108 Journal Articles
Andreas Ryve
There has been increased engagement in studying
discourse in the field of mathematics education. But what exactly is a
discourse, and how do researchers go about analyzing discourses? This study
examines 108 articles from 6 international journals in mathematics education by
asking questions such as these: In which traditions and in relation to which
kinds of epistemological assumptions are the articles situated? How is the
concept of discourse used and defined? How are mathematical aspects of the
discourse accentuated?
