Invited Foundational Papers on Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education

数学教育的研究人员正在编写基础 将列入新的会议委员会的文件 数学科学丛书大学数学研究 教育 这些论文既有纯理论的目的，也有应用的目的， 为本科数学研究领域做出贡献 教育和宣传直接提高本科生 数学教学 双重目的意味着双重， 重叠的观众。 论文集中在学习特别是 数学领域以及更一般的认知过程 例如解决问题、技能获得、概念发展 数学创造力和认知风格。 论文还涉及 与教学方法的变化有关的问题，或 教室和实验室环境。 更广泛地说，研究可能 处理旨在支持学习的体制安排， 教学;例如，课程设计，评估实践，或 教师发展战略。

Researchers in mathematics education are writing foundational papers to be included in the new Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences series RESEARCH IN COLLEGIATE MATHEMATICS EDUCATION. These papers serve both pure and applied purposes, contributing to the field of research in undergraduate mathematics education and informing the direct improvement of undergraduate mathematics instruction. The dual purposes imply dual but overlapping audiences. Papers focus on learning within particular mathematical domains as well as on more general cognitive process such as problem solving, skill acquisition, conceptual development, mathematical creativity, and cognitive styles. Papers also deal with issues associated with variations in teaching methods, or classroom and laboratory contexts. More broadly, research may address institutional arrangements intended to support learning and teaching; for example, curriculum design, assessment practices, or strategies for faculty development.
