The TIMSS-study concludes that Norwegian teachers are among the most dependent on use of mathematics textbooks. The teaching is said to be textbooks driven. But still research on textbooks is rare.

The First Sourcebook on Nordic Research in Mathematics Education Martin Carlsen, Anne Berit Fuglestad, Simon Goodchild (pictured above) and other members of the mathematics education research group at UiA have made a significant contribution to this recently published volume, which ’provides the first comprehensive and unified treatment of historical and contemporary research trends in mathematics education in the Nordic world’. Also in the picture is Professor Bharath Sriraman (University of Montana) who is general editor of the Sourcebook.

UiA PhD-student Batool Talha attended the Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications conference WPMC2007 in Jaipur, India last year in december. A paper written together with supervisor professor Matthias Pätzold won her the best student paper award.
