In 1978, in the foreword to Weeding and Sowing: A Preface to a
Science of Mathematics Education, Hans Freudenthal wrote that his
book is a preface to a science that does not exist. Almost 20 years
later, does his claim still hold true? The present book is the
result of the reflection of many individuals in mathematics
education on this and related questions. Is mathematics education a
science? Is it a discipline? In what sense? What is its place
within other domains of research and academic disciplines? What
accounts for its specificity? In the book, the reader will find a
range of possible answers to these questions, a variety of analyses
of the actual directions of research in different countries, and a
number of visions for the future of research in mathematics
education. The book is a result of an ICMI Study, whose theme was
formulated as: What is Research in Mathematics Education and What
are Its Results?'. One important outcome of this study was the
realization of the reasons for the difficulty of the questions that
the study was posing, leading possibly to a set of other questions,
better suited to the actual concerns and research practices of
mathematics education researchers. The book addresses itself to
researchers in mathematics education and all those working in their
neighborhood who are concerned with the problems of the definition
of this new scientific domain emerging at their borders.
