[Phys-l] ER's Special Issue: Report of Math Advisory Panel



For those interested in math/science education, the AERA's "Educational Researcher" (2008) of December 2008 is a special issue on "Foundations for Success: The Final Report of the Mathematics Advisory Panel."

The abstract of Kelly's (2008) introductory article reads as follows:

"In March 2008, the National Mathematics Advisory Panel final report was released. This report was produced in response to an executive order from President George W. Bush. The report is important because of its subject matter-improving mathematics teaching and learning-its historically significant genesis, and the strong position that the report takes on the primacy of quantitative methods in education research. The author briefly introduces the report and then draws attention to some of the main points in the commentaries offered in this special issue of 'Educational Researcher.' The special issue ends with a rejoinder from the chair and co-chair of the report."
