This paper examines the role of inferentialism in mathematics education research, a complex, transdisciplinary field. We overview constructivism in mathematics education and the emergence of inferentialism, clarifying our perspective of inferentialism in educational research. The focus is on how inferentialism allows researchers to analyze observable learner expressions, overcoming the limitations of constructivism in empirical educational research. We also discussed the implications of educational research for philosophical issues.
