This article describes the sociodemographic profile and factors affecting career decisions of Bachelor of Oral Health (BOH) students in Australia and New Zealand. Data were collected during the 2009 and 2011 academic years via online. A total of 271 students participated. The majority were female (87.8%), single (74.5%) and of Anglo-Saxon background (59.4%), and the average age was 23.7 years. The majority indicated that their fathers had at least secondary school education. The majority (52.8%) decided to study BOH after high school, and of those who commence after high school, 53.7% worked as a dental assistant/auxiliary. Career selection was self-motivated (70.2%) and a career to 'care for and help other people' (59.6%). Most respondents wished to work in a city (59.8%), in both the public and the private sectors (47.2%). This study represents a comprehensive assessment of BOH student profile in Australia and New Zealand. Findings indicate an overall different BOH student profile compared with other oral health profession students in Australia. A significant proportion had previous employment as a dental auxiliary staff and an increasing number of male students. Findings are relevant to educators, recruitment administrators and policy makers in the way the BOH profession is presented as a career option.

“…Research (Asam & Cooper, 2000;Bascia, 1996;Chinn & Wong, 1992;Su et al, 1997) has highlighted the modelling role of ethnic minority teachers in an increasingly ethnically diverse student population, with the general belief that a teacher's race, culture and life experiences relate positively to students' intellectual, social, emotional and physical needs. These teachers have also acted as language and academic support providers for immigrant students with limited English pro ciency, as well as mediators for their 'native' colleagues.…”

“…At the interactive level, Asian American student teachers have been reported to encounter value con icts relating to student respect for teachers (Su et al, 1997), with potential implications for the applicability and effectiveness of different pedagogical strategies across cultures. African American teachers in a study conducted by Madsen and Mabokela (2000) reported value differences/con icts of cultural perceptions relating to student discipline.…”

“…Thus, at the institutional level, this may serve as a guard against teacher attrition. Their continual presence and contribution in the classroom would also be important for the future continual supply of ethnic minority (Su et al, 1997) or immigrant teachers in an educational system which provides for a multicultural Australia.…”

Critical Challenges in Researching Cultural Issues in Mathematics Education

Over the last 20 years there has been a growing interest in cultural issues in mathematics education, with the realisation that mathematical knowledge is a cultural product and that mathematics education is culturally shaped. The focus of this paper will be on cultural aspects of research in mathematics education, and the discussion will be situated within the research context of mathematics education generally. The paper looks rstly at the challenge to teachers and curriculum developers of the idea of culturally based mathematical knowledge. The next section deals with research on teachers concerning the 'hidden' values in mathematics education, which have a cultural base. Thirdly is a consideration of researching mathematics learning and, in particular, of meeting the challenge of culturally situated learning. Finally the paper addresses some aspects of research methods themselves.

This paper looks at the eld of Mathematics Education and its relationship with cultural, social and political issues. It approaches this theme within the landscape of the struggle for land carried out by the Brazilian Landless Movement (Movimento Sem Terra-MST), and the role that has been played by Education in this social movement. The rst section of the paper presents a succinct view of this landscape. The second section discusses Ethnomathematics, focusing on some of the issues that are currently being studied in this eld of Mathematics Education. The third section shows and discusses an excerpt of an empirical study based on an ethnomathematics approach, performed with a group of students of an MST Teacher Education Training Course. The study had as its main theme the practices of 'cubagem of wood'. Here the previously analyzed ideas interact with the data collected during the eldwork. The paper ends by presenting some nal thoughts. The Landscape: Brazil and the struggle for landBrazil is one of the countries with the greatest land ownership concentration in the world. This situation originated during the Portuguese colonization, at the beginning of the sixteenth century and has grown in the last few decades. Recent of cial data clearly indicate the trend towards a highly concentrated land ownership: of all the rural properties in the country, 49% are less than 10 hectares, and take up 2.2% of the Brazilian territory, while properties with over 1000 hectares, representing 1% of the total number of properties, occupy 45% of the area of the country. The land ownership concentration intensi ed from the 1970s onwards, corresponding to the advance of capitalism in the countryside, leading to a number of changes in the rural environment. A rapid accumulation of capital occurred, consequently producing a greater concentration of land, centralized control of the different sectors of the economy and the introduction of agroindustry and a modern agriculture mainly for export purposes. This model had serious social consequences,
