The Philosophy of Mathematics Education

---

Paul Ernest's The Philosophy of Mathematics Education critically examines the foundational assumptions underlying mathematics education. Challenging the traditional view of mathematical knowledge as certain and neutral, Ernest proposes a social constructivist perspective, viewing mathematics as a fallible social construction. This approach has significant implications for pedagogy, including investigations and problem-solving, and addresses social issues such as gender, race, and multiculturalism. The book also presents a model of five educational ideologies, each with its own epistemology, values, aims, and social group of adherents. Through a critical review of the National Curriculum, Ernest reveals the questionable assumptions, values, and interests upon which it rests. The work concludes by advocating for a pedagogy that fosters confident problem solvers capable of critically evaluating the social uses of mathematics
