Guest Editorial: Brazilian research in Mathematics Education

Abstract

This TME special issue builds on the Brazilian tradition in Mathematics Education research, whose contribution to the international debate is well recognized, with examples including U. D'Ambrosio's (1985) ethnomathematics research and T. N. Carraher, D. W. Carraher and Schliemann's (1985) psychological studies. Brazilian research has expanded in many directions, and researchers have published their results in various international journals and have consistently reported their findings at international conferences, such as PME Conferences and ICME.
