摘要
What is an equity agenda in post-apartheid education? This descriptive paper engages this question through reflection on a research-led professional development project situated in the current South African context, and informed by previous related research. I draw from our experience and initial research to argue for the primacy of the epistemic for equity and in promoting democracy. I describe how and why current interventions with teachers, aimed towards improving the quality of teaching and learning of mathematics in our schools, requires a focus on their knowledge-in-use.
