This Research Commentary builds on a 2-stage literature review to argue that there are 4 obstacles to making a sociopolitical turn in mathematics education that would allow researchers to talk about race and ethnicity in ways that take both identity and power seriously: (a) the marginalization of discussions of race and ethnicity; (b) the reiteration of race and ethnicity as independent variables; (c) absence of race and ethnicity from mathematics education research; and (d) the minimizing of discussions of race and ethnicity, even within equity-oriented work.

This article reports the results of a literature review focused on identifying the links between mathematics education and democracy. The review is based on the analysis of a collection of manuscripts produced in different regions of the world. The analysis of these articles focuses on six aspects, namely, (1) definitions of democracy used in these texts, (2) identified links between mathematics education and democracy, (3) suggested strategies to foster a democratic competence in mathematics students (4) tensions and difficulties inherent in mathematical education for democracy, (5) the fundamental role of the teacher in the implementation of democratic education and (6) selected criticisms of mathematical education for democracy. The main contributions of this article are to provide the reader with an overview of the literature related to mathematics education and democracy, and to highlight some of the theoretical and empirical topics that are necessary to further development within this research area.

The mathematics education literature advocates the use of mathematics problems embedded in different contexts and therefore different mathematics curricula reflect this recommendation. A number of theoretical arguments support this, but the influence of context, and specifically the role of context familiarity, on students’ performance is an issue that is not yet fully understood. After a literature review, it is argued in this paper that ninety - odd years of research on problem context and students’ performance suggest that nothing firm can be said about this relationship, because evidence about this relationship is undeniably sparse. Given that context takes on a number of meanings in the literature, this paper starts by clarifying and differentiating this term from others. Then, theoretical arguments and empirical research are reviewed in relation to the role of context and context familiarity on students’ performance.

ResumoA proposta deste artigo é apresentar um panorama das dissertações, realizadas nos programas stricto sensu brasileiros que versam sobre a utilização de objetos de aprendizagem na educação matemática. A pesquisa é qualitativa e utiliza como procedimento inventariante uma revisão sistemática de literatura (RSL). O cenário da pesquisa foi constituído pelos trabalhos disponibilizados no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Capes no período de 2013 a 2018. A busca inicial ocorreu no mês de maio de 2020 e, após a aplicação dos protocolos de pesquisa, resultou na identificação de 25 dissertações, que foram organizadas, por meio da leitura flutuante de seus títulos, resumos, palavras-chaves ou capítulos. Os resultados apontam a relevância das pesquisas, destacando as contribuições dos objetos de aprendizagem (AO) nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem e demonstram a possibilidade de construção dos próprios artefatos digitais pelos professores, adequando-os aos seus contextos pedagógicos específicos. Apesar disso, notamos a baixa realização de pesquisas dessa temática, em detrimento de outras relacionadas com o uso das tecnologias na educação matemática e a não existência de uma uniformização dos autores sobre o que se entende por OA. Por fim, destacamos que a metodologia adotada não é rígida, podendo ser remodelada por outros pesquisadores, sendo capaz de apresentar outros portifólios bibliográficos.Palavras-Chave: Objetos de aprendizagem, Educação matemática, Revisão sistemática de literatura, Tecnologias digitais.AbstractThe purpose of this article is to present an overview of the research, carried out in the Brazilian stricto sensu programmes that talk about the use of learning objects in mathematics education. The research is qualitative and uses a systematic literature review (SLR) as the inventory procedure. The research landscape was constituted by the works available in the Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Capes/Capes Dissertations and Theses Catalogue from 2013 to 2018. The initial search happened in May 2020 and, after applying the research protocols, we identified 25 thesis, which we organised, through skimming through their titles, abstracts, keywords, or chapters. The results point out the relevance of the research, highlighting OA’s contributions to the teaching and learning processes and demonstrating the teachers’ possibility of constructing their own digital artefacts, adapting them to their specific pedagogical contexts. Despite this, we noticed there were few studies on this topic, to the detriment of others about the use of technologies in mathematics education and the lack of authors’ consistency on what is meant by OA. Finally, we emphasise that the methodology adopted is not rigid. It can be remodelled by other researchers and present other bibliographic portfolios.Keywords: Learning Objects, Mathematical Education, Systematic Literature Review, Digital TechnologiesResumenEl propósito de este artículo es presentar una visión general de las disertaciones, realizadas en los programas stricto sensu brasileños que se ocupan del uso de objetos de aprendizaje en la educación matemática.

Pendidikan Matematika Realistik (PMR) merupakan suatu pendekatan pendidikan matematika yang diadopsi dari Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) yang telah dikembangkan di Netherland sejak tahun 1970. PMR cenderung memberikan penjelasan terkait dengan hal yang realistis, sehingga peserta didik dengan mudah mencerna pembelajaran yang disampaikan oleh pendidik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan kajian literatur terkait dengan efektivitas pendidikan matematika realistik (PMR) pada pembelajaran matematika. Metode penelitian yang dipilih dalam penelitian ini ialah metode SLR (Systematic Literature Review). Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan mendokumentasi dan mereview semua artikel terkait pendidikan matematika dalam kurun waktu 2010 – 2020. Artikel yang digunakan pada penelitian ini sebanyak 30 artikel jurnal nasional dan internasional terakreditasi yang diperoleh dari Google Schoolar, Research Gate, SINTA, DOAJ, dan Scopus. Berdasarkan penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa Pendidikan Matematika Realistik (PMR) mampu meningkatkan hasil belajar serta dapat meningkatkan banyak kemampuan matematika peserta didik. Mulai dari kemampuan intuisi, kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis, kemampuan koneksi dan komunikasi peserta didik.
