Research on Teaching and Learning Mathematics at the Tertiary Level - Irene Biza Victor Giraldo Reinhard Hochmuth Azimeh Sadat Khakbaz Chris Rasmussen Kartoniert (TB)

This topical survey focuses on research in tertiary mathematics education a field that has experienced considerable growth over the last 10 years. Drawing on the most recent journal publications as well as the latest advances from recent high-quality conference proceedings our review culls out the following five emergent areas of interest: mathematics teaching at the tertiary level the role of mathematics in other disciplines textbooks assessment and students' studying practices transition to the tertiary level and theoretical-methodological advances. We conclude the survey with a discu ssion of some potential directions for future research in this new and rapidly evolving domain of inquiry.
