| Abstract | In this developed contribution to the Research Forum, held at the recent meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, the theme being "Theories of Mathematics Education", I focus on the call by Sriraman and English (2005): 'the time seems ripe for our community to take stock of the multiple and widely diverging mathematical theories'. I examine empirically the diversity of theories and I draw on the sociological theories of Basil Bernstein to relate the developments to the nature of intellectual communities and their productions. In particular, I suggest that the multiplicity and divergence are not surprising nor are they necessarily damaging to the field. I end by discussing concerns about accountability in relation to research in education. (orig.). |
