Renegotiating identities: mediation of troubling AS Level mathematics
This paper explores the 'troubles' that some students meet as they journey into, through and out of their study of AS mathematics on two different programmers (AS traditional Mathematics and AS Use of Mathematics) as we attempt to understand how this impacts on their developing identities in relation to their current and future studies and career aspirations. To set the scene we take the unusual step of immediately presenting some data in the form of the summary narrative accounts of two such students before detailing methodology, theoretical framework and analysis.
