Research in the area of mathematics education has flourished over the past two decades. The Handbook of Research on Mathematics Teaching and Learning is the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the best research, new developments, and critical conflicts and controversies in mathematics education. Sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and written by leading experts in the field of mathematics education, the Handbook is specifically designed to make important, vital scholarship accessible to mathematics education professors, graduate students, educational researchers, staff development directors, curriculum supervisors, and teachers. The Handbook provides a framework for understanding the evolution of the mathematics education research field against the backdrop of well-established conceptual, historical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives. It is an indispensable working tool for everyone interested in pursuing research in mathematics education as the references for each of the Handbook's twenty-nine chapters are complete resources for both current and past work in that particular area. The Handbook's twenty-nine chapters are organized into five major sections. Overview - presents a history of research in mathematics education, an analysis of how mathematics as a discipline has changed over time and how these shifts have influenced research, and a theoretical reconceptualization of one of the most crucial issues in mathematics education - the nature of understanding within the context of learning and teaching. Mathematics Teaching - includes articles on the culture of the classroom, effective teaching, teacher beliefs, classroom organization, andteacher education. Learning from Instruction - comprises chapters organized around mathematical domains that have been the focus of considerable research: additive structures; multiplicative structures; national numbers; problem solving; estimation; algebra, geometry, and spatial reasoning; probability and statistics; and proofs, limits, functions, and infinity. Critical Issues - considers such important issues in mathematics education as affect, evaluation, gender, ethnicity, and technology, while taking into account the evolution of these issues from teaching, learning, and research perspectives. Perspectives - offers viewpoints on international studies of achievement, international research, and reflections on the future of mathematics education.

A volume in Issues in Urban EducationSeries Editors Denise E. Armstrong, Brock University and Brenda J. McMahon, Florida State UniversityThis book is intended to examine in depth the issues surrounding family and community involvement initially presentedin the book, Inclusion in Urban Educational Environments: Addressing Issues of Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice. Itcontributes to the ongoing conversations in academia as well as in the profession around effectively engaging all familiesin their children's education, and building relationships with diverse community members around common educationalgoals. The book seeks to address issues related to structure, culture, and the agency of individuals and educational organizations.Structure refers to the external forces that impose upon and attempt to define social action, particularly, the institutionalarrangements that schools, families and communities have traditionally held in relationship to each other and to the district,state and federal government. Education is tied system of class relations that structures racism, classism and sexismin response to the desire of dominant groups to preserve their privilege and power. The consequence is the economic positionof low-income ethnic minority students, the population that we find most frequently in urban schools, is merely reproduced. Students and families from these backgroundsoften feel alienated and marginalized and thus unable to engage actively with schools that are viewed as representing the interests of the white middle class.Understanding the success and failures of school, family and community partnerships also demands an examination of the cultural factors that are involved. By lookingat culture, both that of the school and the community, we gain a better understanding of how the ideologies, beliefs and values held by the various constituents give riseto ideological conflicts that may impede collaborations. Partnerships are driven by the individual actions or agency of those involved. This collection demonstrates howactions or agency are tied to structural and cultural factors, including racial, ethnic, class, linguistic and gendered positions.Through the contributions of a team of authors who examine family and community involvement in education, a compelling argument is made for the need to attend toissues of structure, culture, and agency. Typically applied to school reform and change issues, this framework adds a new perspective to the family and communityinvolvement literature, and may help to explain why strong family-school-community partnerships are not more widespread despite the abundance of literature thatdetails the benefits of partnering for students, school personnel and their partners. By looking at the structures in the schools, districts and broader community that impactfamily and community involvement, the organizational cultures that support or limit their involvement, and the ability for students, their families, the community membersand school personnel to make a difference in education, the book not only demonstrates the importance of these elements, but how they work together or againsteach other. Most importantly, the book illustrates how authentic partnerships - characterized by respectful, two-waycommunication that leads to shared goals and mutually beneficial relationships - can be created and maintained.

Investigating University-School Partnerships: A Volume in Professional Development School Research, the fourth book in the PDS Research Series developed by the same editors, includes a collection of organized papers that represent the best and latest examples of practitioner thinking, research, and program design and evaluation in the field at the national level. A wide variety of authors from the professional community of PDS researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders engage the reader in research or case studies that foreground real-life, authentic contexts, which, in turn, are designed to generate and fashion more questions and ideas.
