Doing and Seeing Things Differently: A 25-Year Retrospective of Mathematics Education Research on Learning.

摘要: in today's work. In fact, some current researchers seem quite prepared to argue that certain areas of attention mathematical learning, such as problem solving, constructivism, and individual differences, name just a few, were with us even then nothing has changed very much. One could also say we have always had teachers, students, content well; but there is ample evidence suggest been changes over time, the ways researched not only these three general didactical components interactions among them particular those others referred above. Some innovations subtle, more pronounced. main, today are looking at aspects learning were, if unthought of, least common 25 years ago. To help pinpoint important twists turns our field taken that, great extent, reported this journal during leading up its silver anniversary, I interviewed two individuals who active mathematics education research when was first established still today. Tom Kieren (TK) Romberg (TR) graciously agreed walk down memory lane share their thoughts me. It originally intended paper would focus primarily on issues related learning. However, interviews began unfold, it became clear be possible deal isolation from teaching concerns or theoretical methodological questions. Thus, result retrospective treatment area research, special emphasis The divided into parts. part devoted almost exclusively excerpts interviewees' responses my four categories questions on: (a) evolution general, (b) movement empirical
