Disciplinary Styles in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning-Exploring Common Ground, Carnegie Foundation, (2002).

ABSTRACT

This essay first surveys research into undergraduate mathematics education and considers the various catalysts that have brought about recent changes. It then discusses the divide between mathematics education researchers and teaching mathematicians, going on to treat ways of bridging that divide through the scholarship in teaching and learning.
