The majority of children in mainstream (no fee, poorly resourced, African language dominant) public schools in South Africa fall significantly behind curricular norms in mathematics by Grade 3; the early learning gap grows across time. The provision of "quality" instructional materials is a well-recognised component of effective…

Rauscher, Willem – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2016
Technology teachers should have a sound understanding and knowledge of artefacts in order to assist learners in the designing, making and evaluating of artefacts. Unfortunately, technology teachers in South African schools seem to have a poor grasp of the complexity of this important part of knowledge that is specific to technology. As a result,…

Schäfer, Marc – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2016
Enactivism, as an interesting and useful theoretical underpinning is gaining traction in Mathematics Education research. It forms the central theme of this paper whose aim is two-fold: first to describe and engage with how elements of enactivism informed a PhD study, both on a theoretical and analytical level, and second to reflect on the enacted…

Adler, Jill; Ronda, Erlina – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2015
We describe and use an analytical framework to document mathematics discourse in instruction (MDI), and interpret differences in mathematics teaching. MDI is characterised by four interacting components in the teaching of a mathematics lesson: exemplification (occurring through a sequence of examples and related tasks), explanatory talk (talk that…

Plotz, Mariana; Froneman, Sonica; Nieuwoudt, Hercules – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2012
In this paper we offer a theoretical discussion on the mathematical content knowledge development of secondary school mathematics teachers. We discuss relevant studies from literature and use different views and conceptions of school mathematics to propose a model to develop or transform the mathematical content knowledge of secondary school…

Ogunniyi, Meshach B. – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2011
The underlying assumption to this paper is that learners' ability to appreciate the relevance of school science and its importance to socio-economic development of their communities to a large extent depends on the quality of instruction they receive from their teachers. A popular conundrum is that no country is greater than the calibre of its…

van der Merwe, T. M.; van der Merwe, A. J.; Venter, L. M. – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2010
In a previous paper we reported on several personal and situational tensions which influence the use and value of a mathematics-friendly online discussion forum environment in pursuit of the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) of previously disadvantaged and advantaged mathematics teachers in the South African context of disparities. This…

In this paper we propose that learning in engineering involves taking on the discourse of an engineering community, which is intimately bound up with the identity of being a member of that community. This leads to the notion of discursive identity, which emphasises that students' identities are constituted through engaging in discourse. This view…
