A Socio-Ecological Framework for Research in Mathematics Education

Abstract

This Research Commentary responds to the March 2022 issue of JRME. To discuss the four articles in the issue across their diverse approaches to equity, the authors propose a socio-ecological framework for mapping research in mathematics education. The framework focuses on the layers of social activity that each study addresses, both analytically and with respect to implications. Using their analysis of the articles in the issue, the authors identify strengths in mathematics education research and areas in which more work is needed.
