Eric.ed.gov – Questions of Truth: Ethical and Moral Wanderings in Middle Grades Mathematics Classrooms and Research

Posted on by Troels Gannerup Christensen - Læst 10 gange

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This paper describes two researchers engagement with two teachers as they taught a middle grades mathematics course, Current Events Math, in a large urban school district. The researchers share bits of data and their ethical entanglements as they entered into the site to find the truth about what works in middle grades mathematics classrooms only to realize that truth cannot be found through research. They then grappled with the question of the purpose of research and their roles as researchers in the school and the academy. [For the complete proceedings, see ED583608.] Link til kilde

Eric.ed.gov – Math Modeling in Educational Research: An Approach to Methodological Fallacies

Posted on by Troels Gannerup Christensen - Læst 13 gange

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Math modeling is currently at the focus of educational methodologists’ attention. However, little is known about the extent to which principles of the math modeling lead to methodological fallacies in educational research. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the nature and principles of math modeling and to examine its application in educational research according to transcendental realism theory. The conclusion of the article suggests some methodological fallacies in educational research. Finally, the implications of the fallacies in educational research are considered. Link til kilde
