Dialogue and Learning in Mathematics Education is concerned with communication in mathematics class-rooms. In a series of empirical studies of project work, we follow students' inquiry cooperation as well as students' obstructions to inquiry cooperation. Both are considered important for a theory of learning mathematics.
Special attention is paid to the notions of dialogue' and critique'. A central idea is that dialogue' supports critical learning of mathematics'. The link between dialogue and critique is developed further by including the notions of intention' and...

Critical mathematics education brings together a series of concerns related to
mathematics and its role in society, the practices of teaching and learning of
mathematics in educational settings, and the practices of researching mathematics
education. The work of Ole Skovsmose has provided a seminal contribution to
the shaping of those concerns in the international community of mathematics
educators and mathematics education researchers. This book gathers contributions
of researchers from five continents, for whom critical mathematics education has
been an inspiration to think about many...
