| Abstract | The societal perception that mathematics is absolute and infallible reinforces a transmission pedagogy and is considered to be a major stumbling block for women returning to study mathematics. Children at risk in mathematics are found to rely on rules and procedures and similar findings are evident with adults. A reliance on rules is consistent with an epistemological perspective that knowledge is absolute and external to the self. This paper is work in progress on the usefulness of two feminist epistemological frameworks to understand the experiences of women returning to study mathematics. Two contexts in the further education sector are included in the study, a Community House and a TAFE college. (Contains 47 references and 8 tables.) (Author) |
