A volume in the International Sourcebooks in Mathematics and Science EducationSeries Editor: Bharath Sriraman, The University of MontanaMathematics and Science education have both grown in fertile directions indifferent geographic regions. Yet, the mainstream discourse in international handbooks does not lend voice todevelopments in cognition, curriculum, teacher development, assessment, policy and implementation ofmathematics and science in many countries. Paradoxically, in spite of advances in information technology andthe 'flat earth' syndrome, old distinctions and biases between different groups of researcher’s persist. In additionlimited accessibility to conferences and journals also contribute to this problem.The International Sourcebooks in Mathematics and Science Education focus on under-represented regions of theworld and provides a platform for researchers to showcase their research and development in areas withinmathematics and science education.The First Sourcebook on Asian Research in Mathematics Education: China,Korea, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia and India provides the first synthesizedtreatment of mathematics education that has both developed and is nowprominently emerging in the Asian and South Asian world. The book isorganized in sections coordinated by leaders in mathematics education inthese countries and editorial teams for each country affiliated with them. Thepurpose of unique sourcebook is to both consolidate and survey theestablished body of research in these countries with findings that haveinfluenced ongoing research agendas and informed practices in Europe,North America (and other countries) in addition to serving as a platform toshowcase existing research that has shaped teacher education, curricula andpolicy in these Asian countries. The book will serve as a standard referencefor mathematics education researchers, policy makers, practitioners andstudents both in and outside Asia, and complement the Nordic and NCTMperspectives.
