Magister Educationis - MEd / The study is located within the project: Relevance of School Mathematics
Education (ROSME) of the Department of Didactics at the University of the
Western Cape. The research is undertaken in the belief that Mathematics
enables creative and logical reasoning about contextualised problems in the
realm of the physical and social world as well as in the discipline mathematics
itself. Relevance of school Mathematics has the implied notion of contextual
issues. This research attempts to investigate the contextual issues that teachers
have to deal with in Mathematics education. Given the results of the TIMMS
report, this research aims to investigate, through comparison, the context
preferences between a selected group of practicing teachers in South Africa and
those of their counterparts in South Korea.
