“…These two aspects are distinct and must be treated as such" (Howson, 2005, p.18). In line with Howson's distinction (see also Reber, 2018 for a distinction between subjective and objective meaning), Vollstedt (2010Vollstedt ( , 2011b coined the term personal meaning to designate the first aspect of relevance and personal significance. Personal meaning describes the personal relevance of a mathematical procedure, content, or the people involved in the learning process for an individual, in our case mostly a student of mathematics.…”

“…What relations do the contents have to my own biography? Thus, personally experienced meaning occurs in the shape of a personal goal, a value, an intention, a purpose, a reference, or a use that an object or an action may have for the self (Vollstedt, 2011b).…”

“…Therefore, at the same time and in the same context, different students can assign different meanings to the same mathematical content Figure 1. Relational framework of personal meaning (Vollstedt, 2011b). Kilpatrick, Hoyles, & Skovsmose, 2005a;Vollstedt, 2011b).…”

“…This article elaborates on a facet that considers the perspectives of the students and asks what is personally relevant for them when they are involved with mathematics in a school context. Vollstedt (2011b) terms this facet personal meaning (c.f. also Vollstedt, 2010Vollstedt, , 2011a.…”

“…In a former qualitative study (Vollstedt, 2011b), 17 different personal meanings were reconstructed from interviews with secondary students in Germany and Hong Kong. Subsequently, a reliable instrument was constructed with the aim to assess those different personal meanings (Vollstedt & Duchhardt, 2019).…”

This study focuses on a comparison of personal meanings that students from Finland (FIN) and Germany (GER) assign to (learning) mathematics. Participants are 256 Finnish and 276 German ninth graders. The survey consists of 18 scales that are based on the theory of personal meaning. The original German version was translated into Finnish. Using item response theory (IRT) partial credit models, the psychometric properties of the scales were found to be good. As statistical procedure, Differential Item Functioning (DIF) analysis and mean comparisons were conducted to compare the two groups’ (FIN and GER) responses. Indicators of educational system and curriculum could be found in students’ responses to explain similarities and differences between the two samples. In both countries, social inclusion is meaningful for most of the students (Support by teacher, Experience of relatedness, and Emotional-affective relation to teacher). In addition, it is personally meaningful for Finnish students to do well in mathematics. This shows a link to identity-related questions such as confirming important aspects of the self. Hence, personal meanings related to mathematics are more common in Finland than in Germany (Active practice of mathematics, Cognitive challenge, and Self-perfection).

Well over a century has passed since the founding, in Rome in 1908, of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction [ICMI]. Over time, the interest among mathematicians in school mathematics intensified: "as the mission of general education expanded (more advanced knowledge, for more people), the needs and complexity of mathematics education grew as well, leading to the development in due course of corresponding communities of both practicing professionals and scholars" (ICMI, no date, para 5).
