The student’s perspective on school mathematics – a case study
Résumé
This paper is based on a long-term case study of students’ experiences of reform mathematics classrooms in Finland. Specifically, it focuses on emerging school mathematical actions and activities experienced by three committed and engaged students. Students described their experiences in interviews during and ten years after lower secondary school. The paper asks why taking part in certain practices makes some students learn to like and others to dislike school mathematics, despite high attainment concerning reform-related objectives on achievement and responsibility. The case study showed the importance of making classrooms places where all students belong to communities in which mathematical knowledge is negotiated.
