The Future of Mathematics Education Research: A Discussion Group

Abstract

With help of a review study by Inglis and Foster published in Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, Jinfa Cai summarized trends in the past 50 years of mathematics education research. Next, Arthur Bakker presented a recent survey published in Educational Studies in Mathematics about the future of mathematics education research. Anna Sfard compared this survey with an earlier survey for ICMI. The presentations were discussed in the whole group, after which Jill Adler highlighted a few points she considered relevant.
