Research subject Mathematics Education
Research in mathematics education is the systematic study of the many facets of mathematics as a subject of teaching and learning in current society. The research covers all the levels of the educational system.
Research in mathematics education also studies areas were mathematics is used as part of professional tools for action, such as adult work-place mathematics learning and mathematics teachers' professional practice. The research also adopts a variety of theoretical perspectives from pedagogy, psychology and cognition, sociology and cultural studies, and educational sciences. This unfolds in topics such as childrens' mathematical reasoning and thinking, higher mathematics conceptual development, assessment of mathematics learning, multilingualism and cultural diversity in school mathematics learning, school mathematics and social inclusion and exclusion, and mathematics teachers' learning and professional development.
The research not only connects to traditions in Sweden, but also follows contemporary trends in the international research in mathematics education. In this way, the research attends to concrete educational problems in Sweden, as well as contributes to international knowledge production in the field.
