Exploring Irish primary mathematics education through a wellbeing lens

Description

Mathematical wellbeing is defined as the fulfilment of one’s ultimate or core values, accompanied by positive feelings and functioning in mathematics education. While this area is under-researched, the seven dimensions have been associated with students' mathematical wellbeing are accomplishment, cognition, engagement, meaning, perseverance, positive emotions and relationships. In this presentation, this model will be used to reveal the nature of Irish primary pupils' mathematical wellbeing as reflected in the findings of the Consultation with Children report; completed to inform the Primary Mathematics Curriculum (2023). The presentation will also explore the alignment between these dimensions and the various features of primary mathematics curriculum as well as the implications of implementation as intended on Irish primary pupils' mathematical wellbeing.
