Abstract

Based on Lester's (2005) work, this comment examines the structure for academics interested in math education. In response to three of Lester's points, the author (a) expresses concern that current political forces in the United States may rigidly define scientific research in education; (b) provides a brief outline of Lester's framework and model for theory-based research in mathematics education; and (c) examines the importance of mathematical context in MER, which the MER community should discuss in response to the political forces that (inappropriately) shape our field.
