Opis

This volume is based on results from an NSF-supported project aimed at clarifying the nature of principles that govern the effective use of merging new research designs in mathematics and science education. A primary goal is to describe several of the most important types of research designs that: have been pioneered recently by mathematics and science educators; have distinctive characteristics when they are used in projects that focus on mathematics and science education; have proven to be especially productive for investigating the kinds of complex, interacting and adapting systems that underlie the development of mathematics or science students and teachers, or for the development, dissemination and implementation of innovative programmes of mathematics or science instruction.
