Practice-Oriented Research in Tertiary Mathematics Education cover

This edited volume presents a broad range of original practice-oriented research studies about tertiary mathematics education. These are based on current theoretical frameworks and on established and innovative empirical research methods. It provides a relevant overview of current research, along with being a valuable resource for researchers in tertiary mathematics education, including novices in the field. Its practice orientation research makes it attractive to university mathematics teachers interested in getting access to current ideas and results, including theory-based and empirically evaluated teaching and learning innovations.


The content of the book is spread over 5 sections: The secondary-tertiary transition; University students' mathematical practices and mathematical inquiry; Research on teaching and curriculum design; University students’ mathematical inquiry and Mathematics for non-specialists.

“I found myself, a research mathematician with an equal interest in mathematics education research, learning quite a number of new things. … it was an interesting read. Indeed, the book often lives up to its promise to deliver practice oriented research which I could try out in my own teaching. … the book endeavours to show what has worked in real university settings as well as suggest the way ahead for the field.” (Eng Guan Tay, International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, Vol. 9 (3), 2023)
