The mathematics education community continues to contribute research-based ideas for developing and improving problem posing as an inquiry-based instructional strategy for enhancing students’ learning. A large number of studies have been conducted which have covered many research topics and methodological aspects of teaching and learning mathematics through problem posing. The Authors' groundwork has shown that many of these studies predict positive outcomes from implementing problem posing on: student knowledge, problem solving and posing skills, creativity and disposition toward mathematics. This book examines, in-depth, the contribution of a problem posing approach to teaching mathematics and discusses the impact of adopting this approach on the development of theoretical frameworks, teaching practices and research on mathematical problem posing over the last 50 years.

Mathematics and Science education have both grown in fertile directions in different geographic regions. Yet, the mainstream discourse in international handbooks does not lend voice to developments in cognition, curriculum, teacher development, assessment, policy and implementation of mathematics and science in many countries. Paradoxically, in spite of advances in information technology and the “flat earth” syndrome, old distinctions and biases between different groups of researcher’s persist. In addition limited accessibility to conferences and journals also contribute to this problem.The International Sourcebooks in Mathematics and Science Education focus on under-represented regions of the world and provides a platform for researchers to showcase their research and development in areas within mathematics and science education.The First Sourcebook on Asian Research in Mathematics Education: China, Korea, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia and India provides the first synthesized treatment of mathematics education that has both developed and is now prominently emerging in the Asian and South Asian world. The book is organized in sections coordinated by leaders in mathematics education in these countries and editorial teams for each country affiliated with them. The purpose of unique sourcebook is to both consolidate and survey the established body of research in these countries with findings that have influenced ongoing research agendas and informed practices in Europe, North America (and other countries) in addition to serving as a platform to showcase existing research that has shaped teacher education, curricula and policy in these Asian countries. The book will serve as a standard reference for mathematics education researchers, policy makers, practitioners and students both in and outside Asia, and complement the Nordic and NCTM perspectives.

This book is about scientific inquiry. Designed for early and mid-career researchers, it is a practical manual for conducting and communicating high-quality research in (mathematics) education. Based on the authors’ extensive experience as researchers, as mentors, and as members of the editorial team for the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME), this book directly speaks to researchers and their communities about each phase of the process for conceptualizing, conducting, and communicating high-quality research in (mathematics) education.In the late 2010s, both JRME and Educational Studies in Mathematics celebrated 50 years of publishing high-quality research in mathematics education. Many advances in the field have occurred since the establishment of these journals, and these anniversaries marked a milestone in research in mathematics education. Indeed, fifty years represents a small step for human history but a giant leap for mathematics education. The educational research community in general (and the mathematics education community in particular) has strongly advocated for original research, placing great emphasis on building knowledge and capacity in the field. Because it is an interdisciplinary field, mathematics education has integrated means and methods for scientific inquiry from multiple disciplines. Now that the field is gaining maturity, it is a good time to take a step back and systematically consider how mathematics education researchers can engage in significant, impactful scientific inquiry.

This book represents a pioneering effort to establish mathematical curiosity as its own field of study within mathematics education. The authors take a multifaceted approach, examining curiosity through three key lenses: cognitive (how the mind processes and engages with mathematical concepts), affective (the emotional and motivational aspects of mathematical learning), and social (how curiosity develops through interaction with others).The historical and cultural perspectives offer valuable context by exploring how different societies and time periods have understood and cultivated mathematical wonder. This broader view helps educators understand that curiosity isn't just a modern pedagogical tool, but has deep roots in how humans have always engaged with mathematical thinking.The practical applications section likely provides concrete strategies and techniques that teachers can implement immediately. Rather than remaining purely theoretical, the book bridges the gap between research findings and classroom reality, offering evidence-based methods for nurturing student curiosity.By positioning mathematical curiosity as a distinct scholarly domain, the authors are essentially arguing that this area deserves dedicated research attention, theoretical development, and practical exploration. This could lead to new research methodologies, assessment approaches, and pedagogical frameworks specifically designed around curiosity-driven learning.The book's ultimate goal is transformative - not just to inform readers about curiosity, but to actively engage their own sense of mathematical wonder and potentially recruit them as contributors to this emerging field.

This book explores mathematical problem posing in education, a topic of interest for at least 40 years. Over time, a research community has gradually formed around studying mathematical problem posing as a phenomenon of its own and as a component of mathematics instruction. This book is to provide advances on the impact of scholars (e.g., Polya, Kilpatrick, Brown, Walter, and Silver) and the role of problems in the development of mathematical ideas. It is the first book, which systematically explores the problem-posing processes, both cognitively and affectively. The book reports studies that employ problem posing as an instructional approach directed at deepening students’ understanding of learning mathematics, knowledge, skills, and cognitive and affective characteristics related to their learning of mathematics. In addition, this book examines issues related to teachers and their learning when they start to take on mathematical problem posing as an instructional practice. It describes not only changes in teachers’ beliefs and classroom instruction as a result of engaging in problem posing, but also teachers’ instructional expertise of teaching mathematics through problem posing.

This unique book represents another concerted research effort concerning Chinese mathematics education, with contributions from the world's leading scholars and most active researchers. The book presents the latest original research work with a particular focus on the "teaching" side of Chinese mathematics education to a wide international audience. There are mainly three sections in the book. The first section introduces readers to a historical and contemporary perspective, respectively, on traditional mathematical teaching in ancient China and on how modern Chinese mathematics teachers teach and pursue their pre-service training and in-service professional development. The second section presents studies investigating a wide range of issues at both the macro- and micro-levels on how Chinese mathematics teachers teach mathematics. The third section focuses on Chinese mathematics teachers, investigating issues about their knowledge, belief, teacher training and professional development. Like its predecessor, How Chinese Learn Mathematics: Perspectives from Insiders, this book is a must for educational researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers who are interested in knowing more about mathematics teaching, teachers, teacher education and professional development concerning Chinese teachers and learners.
