Mathematics Education and Technology-Rethinking the Terrain
The 17th ICMI Study
Article
We report a new phase of research of the scaling of Cornerstone Maths (CM), technology-enhanced curriculum units for lower secondary mathematics that embed dynamic mathematical technology (DMT). These combine ...
Article
In this commentary, we briefly review the collective effort of design researchers to weave theory with empirical results, in order to gain a better understanding of the processes of learning. We seek to respon...
Article
In this survey paper we approach the challenge of scaling CPD from four perspectives. First, we elaborate on crucial aspects of teacher learning and what taking the learning of these crucial aspects entails. S...
Chapter
Researchers often pursue their own interesting and specific mathematics education research questions without engaging with the practical and policy issues that may have considerable bearing on mathematics educ...
Article
In the context of education, measurement is often defined as the process of assigning a numerical value to an attribute of an object or event. Using three case studies of “process improvement”, the purpose of ...

Chapter
This last section is constituted from three chapters reflecting the plenary panels and lecture at the Study conference. The authors look at the overall landscape of the potential and impact of digital technolo...
Chapter
This chapter reports on the aims, organisation and outcomes of the 17th ICMI Study and in its final section provides an executive summary of the book as a whole.
Chapter
We report the findings of a three-year investigation aimed at characterizing and develo** the “Techno-mathematical Literacies” (TmL) needed for effective practice in modern, technology-rich workplaces. We ch...
Chapter
In this introduction, we provide a brief overview of the goals of the Design of Learning Environments and Curricula working group. We then describe the three chapters that follow this introduction, and that em...
Chapter
The framing theory guiding the work described here is that mathematics learning is facilitated through long-term student engagement in collaborative projects, integration of sustained emphasis on content knowl...
Chapter
We present papers that indicate the potential and challenge of connectivity within or between mathematics classroms.
Article
In this paper, we seek to broaden the sense in which the word ‘dynamic’ is applied to computational media. Focussing exclusively on the problem of design, the paper describes work in progress, which aims to bu...
Article
We explore some key constructs and research themes initiated by Jim Kaput, and attempt to illuminate them further with reference to our own research. These ‘design principles’ focus on the evolution of digital...
Article
We investigate the use and knowledge of graphs in the context of a large industrial factory. We are particularly interested in the question of “transparency”, a question that has been extensively considered in...
Article
Article
We report results from an analysis of responses to a written question in which high-attaining students in English schools, who formed part of a longitudinal nation-wide survey on proof conceptions, were asked ...
Article
Article
We present a study of the meanings of average and variation displayed by paediatric nurses. We trace how these meanings shape, and are shaped by, nurses' interpretations of trends in patient and population dat...
Article
We seek to analyse the notion of structuring resources and their role in sha** mathematical activity, and more broadly to add to our understanding of mathematical epistemologies in workplace settings. Our an...
