Abstract:
The paper considers the place of qualitative research in education, examining the significance of social context as a source of meaning for classroom processes. Ethnographic research methodology is considered as an approach to answering the question "What is happening when young children are working independently as part of a mathematics programme in a junior classroom?". There is strong potential for this methodology in classroom-based research.
