Description

This paper draws on research in progress with early school leavers and non-completers of schooling to argue that mathematics classrooms can be usefully considered as communities of practice. In these communities of practice, social relationships are negotiated and identities are formed which can be critical for these students’ long term success or failure in learning mathematics. In such social settings, processes of participation and non-participation are crucial to the construction of group and individual identities, and the social skills of the teacher and her ability to communicate and engage effectively with such students can be as important as her knowledge of content.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
