This book provides examples of the ways in which 9-12 grade
mathematics teachers from across North America are engaging in
research. It offers a glimpse of the questions that capture the
attention of teachers, the methodologies that they use to gather
data, and the ways in which they make sense of what they find. The
focus of these teachers' investigations into mathematics classrooms
ranges from students' understanding of content to pedagogical
changes to social issues. Underlying the chapters is the common
goal of enabling students to develop a deep understanding of the
mathematics they learn in their classrooms. By opening their
analysis of their classroom practice to our inspection, these
courageous teachers have invited us to think along with them and to
learn more about our own teaching as a result. By sharing their
work, they have given the mathematics education community an
important opportunity. Everyone who reads this book-teachers,
researchers, teacher-researchers, policy makers, administrators,
and others interested in mathematics education-can learn from the
findings and the light that they shed on issues important to
mathematics education. This book, and the series of which it is a
part, also provides the opportunity to step back and reflect on
what can be learned about research from teachers who have engaged
in the process. Areas of insight include: (a) the importance of
collaboration and participation in communities that value research,
(b) the potential of teacher research as a way to warrant teacher
practice, (c) the power of video and other artifacts of teaching to
support classroom inquiry, (d) connections between teaching and
research, and (e) the publication process as professional
development.
