EXPLORING THE EXPERIENCES OF LEARNING MATHEMATICS FOR A CHILD WITH CANCER: A CASE STUDY
- Date Issued:
- 2017
- Abstract/Description:
- In this research report, I utilize interpretative phenomenological analysis (Smith, Flowers, & Larkin, 2009) to examine the mathematics education experiences of a child with cancer. Two qualitative interviews with a 13-year-old male patient with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and his mother were analyzed. Findings revealed several storylines or themes: living with cancer, environmental barriers, and mathematics in virtual school. Grade level mathematics, content knowledge, and delivery during treatment in comparison to the child's healthy peers are also discussed.
