Abstract
- Research on mathematics learner identity often relies on interview data and presents case studies of individuals. This method allows an in-depth understanding of the person and their relationship with mathematics, but fails to generate a larger picture of identity with more breadth. In this paper we propose a method that blurs the boundaries of fiction and fact by creating fictional characters and a playscript derived from questionnaire response data of senior secondary mathematics students. We argue that this method allows for a wide representation of learner identity without sacrificing the individual voice that may resonate for various stakeholders within mathematics education.
