Students' Voices of Inclusion in Mathematics Education
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v113 n2 p229-249 Jun 2023
This study foregrounds three students who are regarded by their teachers as being in special educational needs in mathematics (SEM) and these same students voicing what inclusion in mathematics education means to them. In this study, "inclusion" is defined as processes of participation. Discourse analysis was applied when analysing these students' voices of inclusion in mathematics education in two inclusive mathematics classrooms, with both classes aiming to include every student in the mathematics education. The three main Discourses which were identified were the "Discourse of assessment," the "Discourse of being in a mathematics classroom setting," and the "Discourse of accessibility in mathematics education." The analysis of the Discourses indicates that they were affected by wider sociopolitical discourses. Furthermore, when inclusion is regarded as processes of participation in mathematics education, the results indicate that participation becomes more complex. Therefore, in this process, both ideological and societal issues, as well as individual and subject-specific issues, must be considered in the educational endeavour.
