ICME 12, TSG 37
Theoretical issues in mathematics education
Theoretical issues are of major importance for the field of mathematics education as for any scientific field. This is especially important because compared to other fields mathematics education is rather a young research area that often builds on scientific knowledge of neighboring fields. Therefore it is important to develop theories specifically meeting the needs of mathematics education. Continuing the work carried out in previous ICMEs, this TSG is expected to provide the participants with an up-to-date vision of the state of the reflection regarding the theoretical questions and underpinnings of the field, and at the same time stimulate insightful exchanges and discussions. It is expected to pay specific attention to the diversity of theoretical approaches existing in the field and to the efforts undertaken to address this diversity, to the theoretical advances and debates resulting from the efforts made for improving the relationships between research and practice, and to the influence of contexts and cultures on the ways in which theories are developed and used.

Program
Session 1 Tuesday, July 10
10:00-11:30
Chaired by Angelika Bikner-Ahsbahs and Cristina Sabena

Introduction
(30 min)
How can the use of suitable theories improve insight into mathematics education?Angelika Bikner-Ahsbahs, Cristina Sabena

Topic: (a) Theories from outside mathematics educationo Identifying theories particularly suitable for use in mathematics education (and those that are not);
o Contrasting the treatment of particular constructs relevant to mathematics education (e.g. "mathematical objects") within two or more theories;
o Suggesting inadequacies in the capacity of currently available theories to meet the needs of mathematics education and recommending what developments are required.

Central question: What theories do we need for mathematics education?Presentation One (20 min)

Session 2 Wednesday, July 11
10:00-11:30
Chaired by David Clarke and Minoru Ohtani
Topic: (b) Conditions for theory use and development
o Interrogating the role and function of theories in mathematics education (and mathematics education research) with specific examples;
o Exploring the adequacy of a particular theory to provide insight into two or more different contexts or issues in mathematics education;
o Discussing the methodological entailments of the selection of particular theories in the process of research design.
