1 Accountability: What Does it Mean and How is it Influencing Research in Mathematics Education Norman L. Webb Wisconsin Center for Education Research University of Wisconsin—Madison Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association Montreal, April 11, 2005 http://facstaff.wcer.wisc.edu/normw/

2 Historical Perspective of Research in Mathematics Education YearsERAEmphasis 1957-1975New MathCurriculum 1975-1990Back to the Basics Minimum Competencies 1990-2005Accountability/ Standards-Based Policy, Systems, & Testing 2005-2020Evidence-Based Learning Data Structures, Individual Learning

3 Historical Perspective of Research in Mathematics Education YearsResearch 1957-1975mastery learning, aptitude-treatment interactions, predictive factors (regression analysis) 1975-1990equity, problem solving, teacher learning, conceptual/procedural development, case studies, anthropological investigations, learning units 1990-2005systems, impact of standards-based approaches, evaluation, testing, HLM, multivariate analyses, curriculum development, scientific evidence 2005-2020micro and macro investigations, feedback loops, longitudinal studies, impact of policy contexts on learning, interactive studies (teacher knowledge, curriculum, and student learning), study of algebra across the curriculum

4 Influence of Accountability on Research in Mathematics Education Pressure to produce “scientific” evidence Trade off between basic research and impact research Greater use of quantitative methods compared to qualitative methods Increased availability of large databases on student achievement

5 Future Research Needs on Accountability in Mathematics Education What is mathematical competence for what purpose (further study, college, work, military)? How is mathematical competence developed over time? What knowledge do teachers need to further mathematical competence? What constitutes mathematical complexity and how is this measured? What are efficient means of measuring students’ mathematical knowledge? Longitudinal or coordinated sequence of studies.

6 Possible Research Agenda Mathematical competence Algebra across the grades Alignment among mathematics program components Culture and context for learning mathematics
