Using Research in the Professional Life of Mathematics Teachers. International Congress on Mathematical Education (5th, Adelaide, Australia, August 24-30, 1984).
Romberg, Thomas A., Ed.
The papers in this monograph are grouped by the five session topics of the Using Research Group meetings. Perspectives on Using Research was first, with papers on research and the teaching job (Romberg), utility (Wheeler), review and dissemination (Dessart), preparing materials (Jurdak), and the teacher's view (Williams). The second session was on Means of Dissemination of Research Results, with papers on that title (Clarkson), communicating research results (Firth; Akers and Silver), developing teachers' styles (Swan), and who interprets research (Clegg). Effects of Research on Teachers formed the third category, considering Logo (Kieren), teacher education (Comiti), beginning teachers (Blane), history (Abe), and concept analysis (Bergeron and Herscovics). In the fourth session, Teachers as Researchers, papers concerned teachers' role (Cooney), carryover from college to school (Stewart), rational numbers (Owens), student teachers (Mitchelmore), and implications of the International Study (Gilmer). The final session was on Effects of Research on School Practice, with papers on cognitive psychology (Becker), problem solving (Nagasaki and Hashimoto; DeCorte and others), novel activities (Hershkovitz and Zehavi), and mathematical games (Bright and Harvey). An epilog, with open discussion, followed. (MNS)
