The confusing consequences of international tests of mathematics achievement

Finland has for a long time been seen as a model for excellence in education given their excellent results on standardized tests. But are these results the results of an outstanding educational system?

Does the Finnish school system make students better at math?

She studies the use of language and power relations in the mathematics classroom

Teachers are not only transmitting neutral knowledge to their students. Eva Norén claims that the teacher also forms individuals – also when it comes to something that seems to neutral as mathematics.
