“…The other 5 articles in Table 5 illustrate the vivid moment in the research on reading, writing, speaking and listening to mathematical language in school or university mathematics. We include examples that report studies on: words, grammar and linguistic patterns of additive word problems and how prospective elementary teachers analyse the mathematical language of these problems (Kwok et al, 2022); written mathematical languages and the related diagrammatic features in Iranian calculus textbooks (Haghjoo et al, 2022(Haghjoo et al, online/2023; linguistic challenges faced by student teachers of mathematics when reading the calculus sections of a mathematics textbook (Berger, 2019); cognitive and semantic challenges faced by novice and experienced undergraduate students in their reading of mathematical proofs and noticing of the mathematical-linguistic features (Dawkins & Zazkis, 2021); identification or development, in collaboration with teachers, of mathematical terminology and grammar for counting systems, measuring and comparing location and shapes in Indigenous mathematical languages (Edmonds-Wathen et al, 2019).…”

In this article, we present a narrative review of mathematics education research on language and on communication over 2019–2022, but also look ahead by addressing challenges posed by the lack of distinction between language and communication. The persistence and significance of the problem of the distinction between language and communication are thus outlined in a historical moment of celebration of growth of research in the domain. Informed by the analysis of a selection of research journal articles and by our trajectories, we discuss influential topics in the recent discourse: multilingual mathematics classrooms; mathematics teacher education on language in mathematics teaching; multimodal mathematical communication; interaction and mathematics learning; mathematical language and discourse. We connect this with new emerging or old revisited concepts: instructional designing, gesturing, argumenting and languaging. We finish by further reflecting on multimodal mathematical communication and gesturing, and on the potential of expanding the notion of mathematics register towards a notion of mathematics communication register.

“…Several studies focused on teacher education as a subject of study and employed pre-and in-service teachers as research participants (e.g. Cooper et al, 2022;Kwok et al, 2022;Rezat et al, 2022). Other authors drew implications from their findings and made several recommendations concerning teacher education of and collaboration with science and mathematics teachers.…”

This introductory paper to the special issue “Reading in Science and Mathematics” presents four major theoretical perspectives of reading, literacy, and language that underpin many studies in this area, including the nine articles selected for this issue. It first outlines several new developments and contemporary issues that drive the growing importance of reading in science and mathematics. It then presents the perspectives that inform and situate the authors’ research as reported in this special issue, followed by a brief introduction of their articles situated within each of the perspectives. The four perspectives are reading comprehension, scientific/mathematical literacy, disciplinary literacy, and linguistic/semiotic meaning-making. The purpose in discussing these perspectives is to map out the theoretical terrain in the field and connect the key ideas within the research on reading in science and mathematics.

“…For many decades a very popular method to support children's problemsolving abilities has been the keyword strategy (Kwok et al 2022). This method helps to link the language in word problems to the mathematical oper-ation(s) by encouraging learners to circle, underline or highlight the keyword(s) in the problem text and then to perform the operation(s) evoked by the linguistic marker(s).…”

Pri načrtovanju vzgojno-izobraževalnih procesov se oziramo v preteklost in razmišljamo o prihodnosti. Vzgoja in izobraževanje se soočata z izzivi družbeno-ekonomskih razmer, vsakokratnih politik in predvidevanja usposobljenosti mladih po končanem šolanju. V pričujoči znanstveni monografiji osvetljujemo vzgojno-izobraževalne probleme v soočanju perspektiv preteklosti in prihodnosti. Sprašujemo se, kako sta bila, sta in bosta pojmovana vzgoja in izobraževanje za uspešno učenje in spodbujanje razvoja v hitro napredujočem tehnološkem svetu. Teoretske tradicije se gradijo v različnih pojmovnih okvirih, ki jim omogočajo opredelitev temeljnih smotrov in načel. Sobivanje disciplin v šolskem polju spodbuja plodno razpravo in nove poglede. S prispevki v monografiji raziskovalci problemski prostor odpirajo razpravi s predstavijo raziskovalnih problemov v luči preteklosti in prihodnosti. Monografija vsebuje poglobljene prispevke z različnih perspektiv in z različnimi teoretskimi podlagami, ki osvetljujejo mnogoterost šolskega polja, ravni vzgoje in izobraževanja, deležnike, procese, produkte in dosežke, ki sestavljajo izzive v raziskovanju v izobraževanju.Avtorji so prispevke predstavili v okviru področij izobraževanja in usposabljanja učiteljev, psihologije, specialnih didaktik ter vzgoje in izobraževanja učencev s posebnimi potrebami. Petra Dolenc obravnava rezilientnost v povezavi s pristopi k podpori le-te, saj je negovanje rezilientnosti in pozornosti ključno pri preprečevanju psihološke stiske ter izgorelosti učiteljev. Razvojni pogled na socialno-čustvene kompetence predstavlja Mateja Šepič; avtorica
