The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Research Agenda Project

数学教育某些领域的研究工作已经发展到需要协商一致的程度，以建立一个概念框架来指导未来的研究。全国数学教师委员会研究咨询委员会确定了四个领域：中学数字概念的教与学、数学有效教学、代数的教与学、解题的教与评。拟议的项目将在这些领域设立工作组。四个小组中的每一个都将举行为期四天的会议，审议该地区的重大问题。每一次会议都会有特邀论文作者的演讲、小组讨论和全体会议。这些会议的目的是综合每个领域目前的知识库，确定未来研究的重要方向，并发展合作研究小组。四本专著，每个工作组会议各一本，将传播受邀的论文、会议记录和会议参与者制定的研究议程。第五本专著将通过项目咨询委员会成员的回溯性论文，包含对议事程序和由此产生的议程的各种观点。

Research efforts in some areas of mathematics education have developed to a point where consensus is needed to establish a conceptual framework to guide future inquiry. The Research Advisory Committee of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has identified four such areas: teaching and learning of middle school number concepts, effective mathematics teaching, the teaching and learning of algebra, and the teaching and evaluation of problem solving. The proposed project will establish working groups in these areas. Each of the four groups will meet for a four day conference to consider the significant issues in the area. Each conference will feature presentations by authors of invited papers, small group discussion sessions, and plenary sessions. The purposes of these conferences are to synthesize the current knowledge base in each area, identify significant directions for future research, and develop collegial research groups. Four monographs, one from each working group conference, will disseminate invited papers, conference proceedings, and the research agendas established by the conference participants. A fifth monograph will contain a variety of viewpoints on the proceedings and resulting agendas through retrospective papers by members of the project advisory council.
