Go back   Title: The role of implicit theoretical assumptions in empirical research Type: For the conference PME46, The 46st Conference of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Haifa, Israel, 16-21 July, 2023 Fulltext:   pdf-document   Abstract: There is much research on the role of theory in mathematics education research, at least from more overarching or theoretical perspectives. Micro analyses of the role of theory in particular research studies are rarer. We contribute by analysing one empirical study to allow for in-depth analyses and discussions around the role of theory in a specific case, concerning relationships between mathematics and reading. Our results show that studies that do not use an explicit theoretical model can still be strongly influenced by implicit theoretical assumptions. We conclude that it is important to identify existing theoretical assumptions in an empirical research study and try to convey them as clearly as possible, and we discuss specific issues concerning research on relationships between mathematics and reading.
