Project description

This dissertation project examines the presence of discursive elements in early mathematics education. A certain interest is placed on how students in the early school years are offered opportunities not only to learn mathematics but also to understand how to learn mathematics—a kind of meta-knowledge expressed through expectations, norms, and socialization processes. A significant part of the research revolves around challenging the dichotomy between thought and action by envisioning learning as both internal (self-talk) and external (conversations with others) communication.
