Getting to Know the Mathematics Education Literatures

The subject will focus on issues arising from Polya, Krutetskii and the Restaurant Problem and from other readings to which reference is made in the course notes. However, at the outset we would emphasise that we expect you to read widely, especially articles in major mathematics education research journals such as:

Educational Studies in Mathematics

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education

For the Learning of Mathematics

Journal of Mathematical Behaviour

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology

School Science and Mathematics

Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics

Mathematics Education Research Journal

The following mathematics teaching journals should also be consulted:

Reflections

Vinculum

Prime Number

Australian Mathematics Teacher

Australian Senior Mathematics Teacher

Mathematics Teaching

Mathematics in School

The Arithmetic Teacher

The Mathematics Teacher

While the University of Newcastle Library subscribes to the above-named journals, complete issues cannot be borrowed. Many of these journals can be found in the libraries of other tertiary institutions around Australia.

The annual December conference book published by the Mathematical Association of Victoria, the biennial conference book published by the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers, and the proceedings of the annual conferences of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) invariably contain important articles. They also provide the reader with a "feel" for what is happening in mathematics and mathematics education around the world.
