A literature review on consumption philosophy of mathematics education
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to conduct a comprehensive literature review on philosophy of mathematics education. In line with this purpose, papers about "The Philosophy of Mathematics Education" have been collated benefit from the national and international researches. Gathered literature is divided into five sub heading as industrial trainers, technological pragmatists, old humanist, progressive educators, public educators. This obtained information has been tried to be explained in a descriptive way. According to the results of the study, it can be said that the philosophy of mathematics education should be evaluated in the philosophy of mathematics. Because one of the central issues in the philosophy of mathematics education is to link between the philosophy of mathematics and mathematical applications. The philosophy of some field can be considered as its aims or reason. The difference in philosophy of mathematics is not the result, but the reason, of the difference in philosophy of mathematics education. Therefore, it is first necessary to talk about the philosophy of mathematics in order to talk about the philosophy of mathematics education. A review of the literature has indicated that there is a lack of studies about the philosophy of mathematics education (in grades 9,10,11 and 12). The other gap lies in the fact that there is no research in concern with the mathematical philosophy activities, as is displayed after reviewing the literature.
