ICMI Study 27: Mathematics Education and the Socio-Ecological

Resumo

presented by Kate le Roux and Alf ColesThe roots of ICMI Study 27: Mathematics Education and the Socio-Ecological As a named topic in international mathematics education forums, "Mathematics Education and the Socio-Ecological" is relatively new compared to many other topics in the field.Yet there is wide recognition of the urgent need for thought leadership to consider what is and might be the role of mathematics and mathematics education in multiple, intersecting, social, political, ecological, and economic issues such as climate change, poverty, inequality, health crises, discrimination, and marginalisation.Attention to this concern from within mathematics education is not new and has commonly drawn resources for research and practice from traditions such as critical mathematics education, decoloniality, ethnomathematics, feminist and new materialist thought, indigenous ways of knowing, and mathematical modelling (see [2] for a fuller description and acknowledgement of these traditions).These empirical and theoretical contributions, in their diversity, have only recently been brought into conversation together and with more established topics of mathematics education such as curriculum, teacher education, technology (for example, in journal special issues and conference discussion groups), towards overarching questions about both mathematics education and the entanglement suggested by the hyphenation in the term socio-ecological.This growing move in mathematics education internationally was well illustrated when, prompted by the Executive Committee of the International Commission on Mathematics Instruction (ICMI), on March 20 (GMT) we collaborated with a group of scholars to host a one-day online symposium entitled "Mathematics Education and the Socio-Ecological" [7].The organising team included
