The First Sourcebook on Nordic Research in Mathematics Education
Beschreibung:
Nordic world. The book is organized in sections co-ordinated by active researchers in
mathematics education in Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, and Finland. The purpose of
this sourcebook is to synthesize and survey the established body of research in these countries
with findings that have influenced ongoing research agendas, informed practice, framed
curricula and policy. The sections for each country also include historical articles in addition to
exemplary examples of recently conducted research oriented towards the future. The book will
serve as a standard reference for mathematics education researchers, policy makers,
practitioners and students both in and outside the Nordic countries.
This Sourcebook includes over 50 chapters from the Nordic world.
