Luitel, B: Narrative Explorations Of Lived Mathematics Curri

This monograph portrays my multifaceted experiences of learning and teaching mathematics as a student, a teacher and a teacher educator. Specifically, it encapsulates my epic journey of inquiry into the cultural contextualisation of mathematics teaching and learning in Nepali schools. Organised into six main chapters, it concludes with a construction of actual and preferred qualitative maps of Nepali mathematics curricula in which I have studied and taught. Subscribing to arts-based autoethnographic methods, my inquiry epistemology has been facilitated by knowing as phronesis, storying, deconstruction, interpretation, transformation, and reconceptualising self. With the main focus on my own educational journey, I have used multiple genres, such as story, poem, dialogue, and drama, to represent and interrogate my lived experiences. Because I have provided rich and thick descriptions of my educative landscapes, it may be possible for the reader to transfer this inquiry‘s epistemology, methodology and pedagogy to his/her own research and pedagogic contexts.
