Recent
and current professional activities:
As past Chairperson (2001) of the Southern African Association of Research
in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education (SAARMSTE) I am now
serving on the Executive Committee of SAARMSTE. Since 2001 I am member
of the South African National Committee for the International Mathematical
Union, and I am serving as Education Expert on the South African National
Commission for UNESCO. My research interests include mathematics teacher
education; social, cultural, political perspectives and preactices in
mathematics education; and issues of educational research methodologies.
