دانلود کتاب Handbook of Research on Mathematics Teaching and Learning: A Project of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

The Handbook was designed to be comprehensive in itscoverage of research and research issues within mathematicseducation. Although the scope of the book is broad, some areascould undoubtedly have received more attention. Such areaswill become increasingly obvious as research in mathematicseducation evolves. There is some overlap in coverage acrosschapters; this overlap helps to focus attention on the ideas andissues in the forefront of current research, provides a varietyof perspectives on a particular issue as addressed by multipleauthors, and demonstrates the interrelatedness of research inthe field. Some chapters in the Handbook emphasize issuesof learning mathematiCS, whereas others focus on teaching.Yet, interestingly, most of the authors explicitly address bothof these perspectives to some degree. (In most cases this wasdone without much cajoling from the editor.) In the past thesetwo dimensions have often defined two separate disciplines ofscientific inquiry (Romberg & Carpenter, 1986). The attentionhere to both functions is Significant because of the importantrelationship between teaching and learning.
