This blog is created by an associate professor at a university and dedicated to Mathematics education research.
There are many postings discussing the various studies regarding Mathematics education. These studies often take place in foreign settings such as Nigeria in the most recent posting (4/2/09). Most postings refer to a scholarly article.
The most interesting article to me was titled "Students' experiences with Mathematics teaching and learning". This blog intrigued me because I have always been interested in the different classroom environmental factors that affect student learning. In this article, students were interviewed to gain better insight on what they valued as success in their mathematics classes. I also found it interesting that language was considered the biggest barrier to learning mathematics. I have always made an effort to go over mathematical language in the beginning og every lesson, but I will make more of an effort based on the results of this article.
