in Mathematics Education
This third edition of the Handbook of International Research in Mathematics Education pro-
vides a comprehensive overview of the most recent theoretical and practical developments in
the field of mathematics education. Authored by an array of internationally recognized scholars
and edited by Lyn D. English and David Kirshner, this collection brings together overviews
and advances in mathematics education research spanning established and emerging topics,
diverse workplace and school environments, and globally representative research priorities.
New perspectives are presented on a range of critical topics including embodied learning,
the theory–practice divide, new developments in the early years, educating future mathematics
education professors, problem solving in a 21st-century curriculum, culture and mathematics
learning, complex systems, critical analysis of design-based research, multimodal technologies,
and e-textbooks. Comprised of 12 revised and 17 new chapters, this edition extends the Hand-
book’s original themes for international research in mathematics education and remains in the
process a definitive resource for the field.
David Kirshner is a professor in the School of Education at Louisiana State University, USA,
and co-director of the Gordon A. Cain Center for Scientific, Mathematical, Engineering, and
Technological Literacy at that institution.

Acknowledgments
The publication of this third edition of the Handbook of International Research in Mathemat-
ics Education would not have been possible without the commitment of the authors, many
of whom are new contributors to this edition. David and I extend our sincere thanks to our
authors, who willingly made improvements to their chapters on receiving reviewers’ feedback.
To the reviewers, we extend our heartfelt thanks. Your thoughtful, constructive reviews were
invaluable to all of us as we worked towards producing a third edition Handbook of scholarly
distinction. Throughout the book’s development David and I established a strong partnership
that never wavered even through sometimes rocky waters. I was very fortunate in securing
David as my co-editor and remain forever grateful for his reasoned and insightful advice on
all aspects of the book. I also gratefully acknowledge the Australian Research Council, who
funded some of the research I address in Chapters 1 and 12. We further acknowledge the pro-
fessional input from Jessica Leader, who skillfully assisted us with the formatting of the book.
Finally, we thank the production team at Taylor & Francis, including Catherine Bernard and
Trevor Gori, for their support during the production process.
In Memoriam
David and I wish to express our deepest sympathy for the recent passing of one of our chap-
ter authors, Dr. Martin Downs, who co-authored chapter 8 with Joanna Mamona-Downs. I
have known both Joanna and Martin for many years, and have fond memories of the times
we shared at various international conferences. Martin’s passing is indeed a great loss to our
international community. As a Group theorist, Martin had deep insights into the essence of
mathematical structures as evident in his and Joanna’s chapter. Martin’s rich work in this field
continues to generate increasing interest from scholars globally. His memory will be kept alive
not only through the editions of this Handbook but also through the lectures, papers, and
mathematical conversations his research will continue to inspire.

1 Changing Agendas in International
Research in Mathematics Education

Handbooks serve an important function for our research community in providing state-of-
the-art summations, critiques, and extensions of existing trends in research. In the intervening
years between the second and third editions of the Handbook of International Research in
Mathematics Education, there have been stimulating developments in research, as well as new
challenges in translating outcomes into practice. This third edition incorporates a number of
new chapters representing areas of growth and challenge, in addition to substantially updated
chapters from the second edition. As such, the Handbook addresses five core themes, namely,
Priorities in International Mathematics Education Research, Democratic Access to Mathemat-
ics Learning, Transformations in Learning Contexts, Advances in Research Methodologies, and
Influences of Advanced Technologies.
In opening the first chapter of the Handbook’s second edition, English (2008) argued that
many of the important questions that need to be addressed in mathematics education are not
being answered. In highlighting some of these concerns, a number of “catalysts for change”
were identified as fuelling the need for further research. These catalysts included national and
international mathematics testing, the impact of social and cultural factors (including eco-
nomic and political influences), an increased focus on the professional learning of teachers, a
revival of theory development, the enhanced sophistication and availability of technology, and
the increased globalization of our field. To what extent these factors continue to have a sig-
nificant impact on our field is open to debate, as are the global research questions demanding
attention. Although responses to these issues would vary from nation to nation and indeed,
from one research group to another, it is worth reflecting on some of the challenges, both the
longstanding and the emerging, that appear to be shaping (or reshaping) mathematics educa-
tion research.
In an introductory chapter of this nature we cannot, of course, do justice to the myriad
factors impacting our field. As Heid (2012) emphasized in her final editorial for the Journal
for Research in Mathematics Education, although it is desirable to identify the major prob-
lems in mathematics teaching and learning and to target appropriate research agendas, we
cannot expect universal agreement on what these problems and agendas might be. What
we can strive for, however, is the means to determine “great challenges, especially ones on
which progress can be made in the near future” (Heid, 2012, p. 503). We touch upon just
a few of these in this first chapter and leave the reader to explore each of the sections for a
more in-depth and diverse coverage of global challenges facing researchers, teachers, and
policy developers alike. To provide a partial guide to the issues examined by the authors,
we devote the last portion of this chapter to a summary of the chapters within each of the
sections.

EMERGING AND CONTINUING CHALLENGES
One of the ongoing challenges facing all of us today is operating effectively in a world that
is increasingly shaped by complex, dynamic, and powerful information systems fuelled by
unprecedented developments in technology. Students’ future careers, many of which might
not exist today or only in emergent forms, will require skills in interpreting, explaining, and
developing structurally complex systems. Spanning a range of fields including social, economic,
political, and scientific domains, such systems will demand mathematically powerful knowl-
edge and reasoning processes, skills in dealing effectively with sophisticated technology, and
the ability to think flexibly, creatively, and innovatively—all essential to life-long learning. The
chapters in this Handbook explore various ways in which we might increase all students’ access
to opportunities that nurture these core foundations. From school curriculum renewal, to
advancing theory and research methodologies, through to capitalizing on technological devel-
opments, the authors offer international perspectives on broadening opportunities for math-
ematics learning and teaching.
Selecting particular issues to highlight in this opening chapter is a challenge in itself. These
are many and varied, with some presenting more urgency than others depending on the unique
features of a nation’s educational system. Complementing the challenges explored in each of
the main sections, we address briefly two issues that we see as having a significant influence
on shaping the agenda of future mathematics education: the increased international focus on
STEM education and the ever-present endeavors to link research with practice.
1. Educational research yields few conclusive results; or educational research does not pro-
vide valid and reliable results that are confirmed through unambiguous and powerful
evidence.
2. Educational research yields few practical results; or educational research is limited in
practical use.
3. Practitioners believe that educational research is not conclusive or practical; or educa-
tional research is not meaningful for teachers.
4. Practitioners make little (appropriate) use of educational research; or practitioners do not
have the skills to use educational research results.
Depending on which interpretation one subscribes to, the actions needed to affect positive
change will vary widely:
1. Rethink the kinds of research questions that are pursued and/or the methodologies
employed to address those questions (Levin & O’Donnell, 1999); or invest more in
high-quality, validated research (Kennedy, 1997).
2. Design research studies that more effectively address the needs of practitioners (Ham-
mersley, 2002); include practitioners as partners in research (De Vries & Pieters, 2007;
Ruthven & Goodchild, 2008).
3. Do a better job of articulating the linkages of research studies to practice (Gore & Gitlin,
2004); or train teachers in the science of educational research (NRC, 2002).
4. Disseminate research results more widely (Chafouleas & Riley-Tillman, 2005); or train
practitioners in the interpretation and utilization of educational research results (Edwards,
Sebba, & Rickinson, 2007).
Research in Mathematics Education 7
The critical point offered by Broekkamp and Van Hout-Wolters (2007) is that our current
discourse about the research/practice gap is dominated by “monocausal analyses”: “When a
certain cause has been determined, there is often a plea for the extensive and radical applica-
tion of a single solution that is supposed to close the gap. Other solutions are then regarded as
incompatible” (p. 204). We do well to keep this point in mind as we consider the multifaceted
and conflicting interpretations of the research/practice gap, and the need for judicious and
inclusive solutions to it.
