Algebra: A Challenge at the Crossroads of Policy and Practice

由匹兹堡大学的研究人员领导的一个小组正在审查和分析与代数I学习和教学有关的政策文件和研究，以(1)更好地了解美国的代数教育；(2)对政策文件迄今尚未处理的研究问题(即我们知道的和需要知道的)进行统计。研究结果将分发给数学教育研究界和教育政策界。计划通过在华盛顿特区举行的邀请性会议进行进一步的讨论和传播。这些发现也将被用来制定代数学习和教学的研究议程。

A team led by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh is reviewing and analyzing policy documents and studies related to Algebra I learning and teaching, in order to (1) gain a better understanding of algebra education in the United States; and (2) conduct an accounting of research questions that have and have not been taken up by policy documents to date (i.e., what we know and what we need to know). The results are to be disseminated to both the mathematics education research community and to the education policy community. Further discussion and dissemination is planned through an invitational conference in Washington, DC. The findings will also be used to set a research agenda for algebra learning and teaching.
