Booknews
A collection of ten chapters that take a new look at mathematics education. The contributors address such practical problems as the design of teaching and research that acknowledges the social nature of learning, maximizing the impact of teacher education programs, increasing the learning opportunities of students working in groups, and ameliorating the impact of male domination in mixed classrooms. Several of the chapters address the nature of learning and teaching, and the ways in which theories and practices of mathematics education recognize learning as simultaneously social and individual. Other issues include teaching practices, equity, language, assessment, group work and the broader political context of mathematics reform. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
