Curricular Resources and Classroom Use
The Case of Mathematics
Gabriel Stylianides
Reviews and Awards
"The theories and methods are very clearly presented and commented, and usefully illustrated by examples. More generally, the choice of presentation is very relevant, and could be recommended to all researchers trying to communicate their theories and methods to a large audience of students and colleagues." -- Educational Studies in Mathematics
"Stylianides provides detailed analytical guidelines to answer questions about curriculum fidelity... the book offers detailed methodological guidance and options for audiences interested in examining mathematical tasks in curriculum resources." -- Journal for Research in Mathematics Education
"Amongst the various texts for mathematics teachers and educators, most focus on the subject knowledge or pedagogy for teaching and learning. Occasionally a book comes to the surface which sets out various resources which can be used for teaching different topics effectively. This book goes a step further, by examining not only a range of possible mathematics resources but also looking at some of the key recent research which underpins the use of the resources and implications for future resource development." -- The Mathematical Gazette
"The book is fairly concise but packs in lots of information and references. For others studying this area this is clearly a helpful read ... For anyone with an academic interest in curricular resources this book looks like an essential read." -- The Mathematical Gazette
"I feel this book deserves recognition for the thoughtful examination (to an exhaustive degree) of the U.S. literature on mathematics curriculum as well as European scholarship -- and for the author's success in framing the interaction between student learning and use of curricular resources in the classroom with his own worldview." -- MAA Reviews
