Second Handbook Of Research On Mathematics Teaching and Learning (2 Volume Set)

This Handbook picks up where the very important 1992 Handbook of Research on Mathematics Teaching and Learning (edited by Douglas Grouws) ends, focusing on research contributions and trends during the past 15 years. Among the 58 researchers who contributed to the two-volume set are several of the most prominent researchers in the field -- Michele Artigue, Deborah Ball, Carmen Batanero, Michael Battista, Alan Bishop, Paul Cobb, Erik DeCorte, Jan de Lange, Joan Ferrini-Mundy, Brian Greer, Douglas Grouws, Guershon Harel, James Hiebert, Graham Jones, Richard Lesh, Mogens Niss, Norma Presmeg, Alan Schoenfeld, Michael Shaughnessy, Edward Silver, Judith Sowder, Lieven Verschaffel, Norman Webb, and Dylan Wiliam. The intent of the authors of this volume was to provide useful perspectives as well as pertinent information for conducting investigations that are informed by previous work. The Handbook should also be a useful textbook for graduate research seminars. In addition to the audience mentioned above, the present Handbook contains chapters that should be relevant to four other groups: teacher educators, curriculum developers, state and national policy makers, and test developers and others involved with assessment.
