Hating school, loving mathematics: On the ideological function of critique and reform in mathematics education (2012, unknown): “As Palm (2002) noted, a common argument for realism is exactly that it promotes a proper “understanding” of the “usefulness” of mathematics (a line of argumentation which can be traced back at least to the early nineteenth century, see Lundin, 2008, p. 219).”
Changing representation in contextual mathematical problems from descriptive to depictive: The effect on students’ performance (2018, background): “There are indications from several studies that this effect might be counteracted or avoided by making the problem situations or the representation of the problem situations more authentic for the students (Palm, 2002, 2006, 2008, 2009; Verschaffel et al., 2009).”
