Collaboration between Mathematicians and Mathematics Educators: dialogical inquiry as a methodological tool in Mathematics Education research

Abstract Collaboration between Mathematicians and Mathematics Educators is crucial in advancing knowledge on the teaching learning of Mathematics, particularly advanced pedagogy. However, there a need for type collaborations where can find common ground, synergy their expertise results new, hybrid meanings understandings that benefit practice. This paper aims to help researchers from these communities come together by presenting novel methodology collaborative inquiry qualitative data analysis— dialogical —based Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory dialogism. In this framework, “truth” conceived as never finalised but always coevolving through dialogue involves participants with different “voices” “languages”. We describe three principles underpin : motivation, power balance process solving disagreements. These interact create space critically productive allows coevolve emerge. illustrate our operationalisation (i.e., methods ) two areas: understanding solutions linear ordinary differential equations making meaning Bakhtinian concept superaddressee. reflect use Education research invite readers own dialogic spaces collaboration.
