Learning in Science and Mathematics: The Role of Philosophy, Theory, and Methodology in Shaping our Developing Understanding
Educational researchers have long grappled with how to improve the teaching and learning of science and mathematics. International and national studies of student achievement results suggest that many students, particularly students of color and girls, are under-served in both mathematics and science (Reese, Miller, Mazzeo, & Dossey, 1997; Schmidt, McKnight, Cogan, Jakewerth, & Houang, 1999). For some children—a small select group—mathematics comes easily. They “see” mathematical patterns and relationships wherever they are.
