Almost 20  years later, does his claim still hold true? \u003cbr\u003e  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. \u003cbr\u003e  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.  \u003cbr\u003e  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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792345992\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 578\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312151285900,"sku":"9780792345992","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792345992","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
