Abstract: | The field of mathematics education is contested by different sub-cultures. The dominance of psychological approaches is challenged by sociological ones. Within the latter, consensus theory is the norm. A defect of this theory is its neglect of power, conflict and inequality in society. To remedy this there is a need for critical cultural and ideological technology (CCIT).An application of critical cultural and ideological technology (CCIT) is reported in the field of mathematics education. This involves identifying the ideologies about society which are to be found in curriculum materials, identifying the social location of the text and identifying possible actions. A step-by-step method is set out and applied to a particular classroom problem. |
