Using research in teaching: Notes from National Assessment: perimeter and area

In the October issue two NAEP exercises dealing with the primary concept of partitioning regions and sol ids into units of measure were examined. The resu lts of these exercises and the other research reviewed indicated that many younger students do not have any understanding of this fundamental concept that underlies area and volume measurement, and some misconceptions persist with many older students.

Are elementary school teachers satisfied with their mathematics preparation?

In these meetings were discussed the problems of adequately training elementary school teachers of mathematics and possible avenues to an improved mathematics preparatory program. One of the statements issued at each of these meetings concerned the importance of each educational institution&#39;s critically examining its own mathematics program for elementary school teachers.

Using research in teaching: Notes from National Assessment: processes used on computational exercises

This note examines exercises from the Mathematics Assessment of the National Assessment of Educational Progress designed to examine some of the processes students use in doing computations, along with measuring their computation performance.

Issues of validity in reporting the number of doctorates in mathematics education

In this article, we examine the validity of the use of this measure for this purpose by analyzing data from 23 institutions that grant mathematics education doctoral degrees and a specific university. Results showed that the SED underestimated the number of doctoral graduates by 5-15%, raising concerns about the use of the SED for this purpose.

Examining the career paths of doctorates in mathematics education working in institutions of higher education

Because some of the sample is drawn from graduates of programs with NSF funding related to doctoral preparation, it represents a best-case scenario of doctoral preparation experiences. Notable findings are that about one-half of the doctoral graduates in mathematics education are employed in mathematics departments, the majority (60%) of doctoral graduates remain in their initial faculty position upon completing their doctorate, and that workloads differ substantially across doctorate-granting and non-doctorate-granting institutions.

Five hundred three doctoral graduates from twenty-three institutions participated in the study with a response rate of over 90 percent. This article focuses on doctoral graduate satisfaction with their doctoral preparation, the influence of full-time doctoral status, mathematics and mathematics education course requirements, and preparation to teach methods courses.
