Josep Gascón – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
In the early 1980s, the "theory of didactic situations" put the analysis of mathematical activity at the core of the didactic analysis, thus initiating a new research programme in mathematics education: the "epistemological programme." This paper describes and interprets some of the contributions of the "anthropological…

Jarry-Shore, Michael; Delaney, Victoria; Borko, Hilda – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2023
A common approach to scaling up a professional development program is for the researchers who designed the program to prepare teacher leaders to facilitate it at their schools. When researchers eventually leave, however, teacher leaders may receive less support. To ensure that teacher leaders continue receiving support, researchers can prepare…
