The knowledge produced through student drawings.

ABSTRACT: Drawings have been extensively used as a research method to gather data from research participants including school students regarding their perceptions of mathematics and its teaching and learning. What is valued in drawing-based research in mathematics education, and what kind of knowledge is produced through student drawings, however, is not known. This study examines drawing-based research studies to understand these questions by applying a novel framework - the legitimation code theory (LCT). The study focuses on two cases: one of which looked at middle school students' images of mathematicians (draw a mathematician) and the other examined the same age group students' descriptions of mathematics classrooms (draw a mathematics classroom). Within both studies, greater emphases are on th
