Reconsidering Curriculum—a reflection on values and vision

Confounding Methodology and Methods
One of the big contributions that feminist researchers have made to the community is, in my view, a clarification of the differences between methodology and method. In conventional doctoral theses, the chapter labelled 'Methodology' has frequently consisted of a description of the methods used to pursue the research with no problematisation of the available choices and how these reflect the stance, methodologically, of the researcher. Equally, pu…
Confounding Methodology and Methods
Research Mathematicians as Learners—and what mathematics education can learn from them
A theoretical model describing coming to know mathematics was matched against the descriptions gathered from interviews with 70 practising research mathematicians. The model proved to be a good framework for understanding their epistemological practices and a number of pedagogical implications of wider application are drawn from the results
Fables
This article reports on some results from an interview-based study with 70 practising research mathematicians, 35 women and 35 men, at universities in England, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland. The aim of the study was to explore epistemologies of these mathematicians and any impact of them on how they conducted their professional lives. In this article, three conjectures are examined. The first was that career experiences would differ betw…
Introduction
Equity and the Learning of Mathematics
Mapping the prevailing winds affecting assessment
How schools improve
Students as Researchers
The paper explores the background and implementation of a project in which school students researched the factors which affect the decision to remain at school or leave at 16. The two major concerns of the project were equity and access to higher education. It was the result of a collaboration between researchers from the University of Birmingham, school teachers and school students. A critique is offered of the method of students as researchers …
Clashing Epistemologies of Mathematics Education
A comparison between the teaching of English and mathematics is used to draw out substantial differences between conception of the disciplines, and the consequent construction of curricula. Focusing upon mathematics, conflict is evident between those adopting an absolutist mathematical epistemology and the relativists. The existence of this conflict is offered as one explanation for widespread difficulties in learning mathematics. Practical sugge…
Management, ‘Race’ and Gender
Strategies used by ethnic minority women and men and white women to gain senior management positions within educational institutions were investigated using a life history approach. Participants were also asked to reflect upon institutional strategies that might operationalise equal opportunities policies. The report describes the experiences they recounted and identifies the themes, strategies and structures to which they drew attention

persons whose formal education began from fifteen to fifty years earlier. They rely upon expensive capital equipment which often becomes outmoded before it is outlived. Inherent in these systems is the time-gap which elapses between a child's entry and leaving which, in itself, causes a minimum six- to ten-year pause before the need for and the consequences of new changes can be assessed. But not all rigidity is due to these restraints. There are…
