Infos

This edited volume is an inquiry into the ethics of mathematics education, and to a lesser extent, the ethics of mathematics. The imposition of mathematics for all raises questions of ethics. What are the ethics of teaching school mathematics? What are the costs as well as the benefits? What are the ethical issues raised by the official aims of mathematics teaching, the planned curriculum, the pedagogies employed in school and college mathematics and the assessment systems? These questions are addressed in the book as well as what systems of ethics we might use. The volume ventures into a burgeoning new field. It offers a unique set of investigations, both theoretical and in terms of practices. It announces the ethics of mathematics education as a new subfield of research and includes valuable contributions from many of the best-known researchers in mathematics education; additionally, it is a valuable resource for students, teachers and researchers in the field. This is an enduring and classic source book in the field. From the wisdom of leading scholars to the little heard voices of students, this collection offers the reader many striking new insights into the ethics of mathematics and education.

Dr. Paul Ernest was appointed as the first Professor of the Philosophy of Mathematics Education at the University of Exeter, UK, where he is now emeritus professor. His books include The Philosophy of Mathematics Education, cited in more than three thousand scholarly publications, and Social Constructivism as a Philosophy of Mathematics, with over 1000 citations. He founded and edits the open access Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal.
