Kilpatrick, Jeremy – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
Presented are some concerns related to the diagnostic/prescriptive approach to teaching mathematics. The author supports the view that teachers need to become aware of reasons for making professional decisions and become reflective practitioners. (RH)

Millsaps, Gayle M. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 2000
Investigates secondary mathematics teachers' (N=4) memories of learning mathematics, their beliefs about their mathematics instructional practice, and their definitions of mathematics in order to locate possible connections between teachers' mathematical experiences and their beliefs about mathematics and mathematics teaching. (Contains 15…

Rachlin, Sidney L.; And Others – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
Describes a research methodology known as the teaching experiment and details an example of a teaching experiment aimed at the development of a process-oriented algebra curriculum. Addresses other possible variations of the teaching experiment, emphasizing the cooperation of teachers and researchers. (TW)
