Abstract

Following Star (2005, 2007) we continue to problematize the entangling of type and quality in the use of conceptual knowledge and procedural knowledge. Although those whose work is guided by types of knowledge and those whose work is guided by qualities of knowledge seem to be referring to the same phenomena, actually they are not. This lack of mutual understanding of both the nature of the questions being asked and the results being generated causes difficulties for the continued exploration of questions of interest in mathematics teaching and learning, such as issues of teachers’ knowledge.

I am a 49-year old graduate student at Bentley University, and because I can't afford to quit my job in order to pursue a Master's degree I am participating in a part-time, remote-learning program. This approach to education works most of the time, but getting access to the full text of research articles in my field - online only - is extremely challenging. Having this access means I can explore and quote more of an article than just the abstract. It means I can become deeply informed in pursuit of my profession. Thank you.
