Mathematics in vocational education : An epistemic framework

• In this methodological paper, we present a framework, which was developed in an action researchproject where mathematics teachers and vocational teachers collaborated with a researcher.With this epistemic framework we challenge the view where mathematics is taken-for-grantedas the theoretical knowing which is applied to the practical vocational knowing. The purpose ofthe framework is to aid teachers and researchers to capture theoretical and practical aspects ofmathematical and vocational knowing, both when the subject areas are separate, and when theyare intertwined, in collaborative teaching. This way, power relations between different teachingcontents may be reconstructed, which is helpful for collaborative teaching, and for students’learning in both mathematics and vocational teaching content areas.
