E-Book Overview

The Handbook was designed to be comprehensive in its coverage of research and research issues within mathematics education. Although the scope of the book is broad, some areas could undoubtedly have received more attention. Such areas will become increasingly obvious as research in mathematics education evolves. There is some overlap in coverage across chapters; this overlap helps to focus attention on the ideas and issues in the forefront of current research, provides a variety of perspectives on a particular issue as addressed by multiple authors, and demonstrates the interrelatedness of research in the field. Some chapters in the Handbook emphasize issues of learning mathematiCS, whereas others focus on teaching. Yet, interestingly, most of the authors explicitly address both of these perspectives to some degree. (In most cases this was done without much cajoling from the editor.) In the past these two dimensions have often defined two separate disciplines of scientific inquiry (Romberg & Carpenter, 1986). The attention here to both functions is Significant because of the important relationship between teaching and learning.
