Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to offer a personalised overview of the content of English Teaching: Practice and Critique for the years it was hosted at the Wilf Malcolm Institute for Educational Research (WMIER) at the University of Waikato (2002-2014). Design/methodology/approach – It notes trends in relationship to the context of origin of 335 articles published in this period (excluding editorials), including significant increases in articles originating in the USA and Pacific Rim Asian nations, particularly South Korea and Taiwan. It comments on articles that relate to the original vision of the editors’ founders, especially their emphasis on practice, criticality and social justice. Findings – Prevailing themes across 13 years are mapped and in some cases discussed. Originality/value – A number of reflections are shared in relation to the future of the journal and some challenges currently facing subject English.

Greater Good

An impasse in mathematics education is related to its frequent lack of acknowledgment of local mathematical practices in its research theoretical basis. Pedagogical action of ethnomathematics aids in recording cultural-historical forms of mathematical procedures and practices developed by members of distinct cultural groups. Ethnomathematics is a form of push back from colonization without attempting to replace academic mathematics. Hence, a sense of insubordination triggered by ethnomathematics is creative and often evokes a sense of disturbance that causes a conscious review of rules and regulations endemic to many curricular and educational research contexts. This process enables educators and investigators to adopt positive deviance in developing pedagogical actions that deal with content usually disconnected from the reality of the students in order to deal with imposed norms and rules. Thus, positive deviance involves an intentional act of bending the rules in order to serve the greater good of the school communities.

As If

On March 12, 1967 the following headune appeared in the New York Times: “United States Gets Low Marks in Math.” A 250-word article followed summarizing the failure of American schools to win the international mathematics race. Emotional reaction to this account was instantaneous. Parents, teachers, educators, and even Congressmen, taking the article at face value began demanding ex planations. as if the lid had been lifted from a teeming educational scandal. Even today the vestiges of this account linger to haunt the image of mathematics education.

Research In Mathematics Education

The purpose of this paper is not to review all or even much of the past or current research in mathematics education; this has been done elsewhere. Monographs covering research in mathematics education up to about 1960, for example, are available from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Some of the NCTM yearbooks also provide a good source.

When, this month and next, researchers in mathematics education get together at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, they will be exchanging their latest ideas on how students learn mathematics and how teachers teach it. To the extent that our research enterprise is a science, it thrives on the newly discovered. As Edward Wilson put it in the American Scholar last autumn, scientists are the scouts and hunters of the intellectual tribe.

Critical Idea

In the past year, we have used this space to tackle a chronic and important concern in mathematics education: how to increase the impact of research on practice. Because of the unique nature of this issue of JRME, we pause to address the critical idea of replication in educational research. In later issues, we will continue our primary theme and consider how the ideas raised in this editorial can further our understanding of the relationships between research and practice.

The proposed presentation will investigate deeply into the construction of  ”Educational Research Quality/ Indicator Scheme” in EU, OECD and in the USA, the UK, France, Germany, and Australia . Based on the results of one of the sub-projects of Integrated Joint Research Project financed by Science Council in Taiwan , this paper will focus on the process and construction of an “educational research quality standard/indicator scheme” through international comparison. The implications of the results of comparison for improving education research generally will be carefully examined with a view to developing a suitable "Educational Research Quality Standard/Indicator Scheme" for future use in assessing the input and output of research projects funded by governmental or non-governmental agencies.
