Keith Leatham recently published an article titled “How We Are Preparing Secondary Mathematics Teachers to Teach With Technology: Findings From a Nationwide Survey” in the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education. Keith has answered a few questions about this article below:  Who were your co-authors on this article? Allison W. McCulloch, Jennifer N. Lovett, Nina Gabrielle Bailey, and Samuel D. Reed Who would you say is the target audience for this article? Mathematics teacher educators What is the big problem you hoped to address with this article? The problem was a lack of understanding of the US as a whole prepares mathematics teachers to teach with technology. Without this information it was difficult to determine to what extent we are meeting the standards and vision that we have articulated and…

Steven Jones recently had a paper titled “Students’ Reasoning about Multivariational Structures” published in the conference proceedings for the conference of the Psychology of Mathematics Education – North American Chapter. Steven has answered a few questions about this paper below:  Who were your co-authors on this paper? Haley Jeppson, a former master’s student in our program. Who would you say is the target audience for this paper? Math and/or science instructors, including anyone dealing with contexts that relate more than two variables/quantities together. What is the big problem you hoped to address with this paper? Previous work looking at students' reasoning of changes in related quantities has focused on only two variable relationships, such as y = f(x). However, math and science often involve contexts with more than two variables…
