Focus is on the current situation of mathematics within Australian vocational and technical education and how that might be applied to similar institutions internationally. Chapters 1 and 2 present reviews of literature that focus on the institutions and images of mathematics and mathematics education. The relationship between technology and mathematics in the workplace is discussed. Chapter 3 provides theoretical perspectives on technologies of power and new forms of knowledge production. Concepts of symbolic control, pedagogy, and identity are emphasized. After a brief introduction to the historical and contextual setting of Australian vocational and technical education, Chapters 4-6 considers technologies of power. Starting with the micro-level of teaching and learning, through the mid-level of curriculum and the conditions of teachers' work, the analysis ends on the macro-level of knowledge production and distribution, where the de-institutionalization of education is suggested as a serious challenge. Chapter 7 considers the construction of image in relation to technologies of management and to vocational mathematics as located within the public image of mathematics education. There are four figures, a glossary of acronyms, a 496-item bibliography; and name and subject indexes. (AJ) |
