Exploring Issues About Values in Mathematics Education
Abstract
Highlights This commentary article is intended to provide a broad yet brief look at research and issues about values and valuing in mathematics education from a broad view about related issues. The articles in the Special Issue provided new findings, insights, and directions in research on values and valuing in mathematics education. In the future, more attention should be paid to the issues concerning values as a construct from a social-cultural perspective, and more studies addressing enacted values, using more observational data, and with large scale and long duration are needed. There is also a need for more exchanges and interdisciplinary collaborations between mathematics educators, other discipline-based educators, and general educators, especially educational sociologists, for the advancement of research in this area.
