This chapter continues to discuss developments in the history of doctoral program, including the initial Ph.D. degree in education and the move towards the new Educational Doctorate degree (Ed.D.). The chapter moves to more recent history of Ph.D. and Ed.D. programs in America and the consistent movement towards specialization. A renewed focus on standardization is illustrated by discussing some of the developments in the specialized field of mathematics education over the last 20 years. The chapter finishes by listing the basic components that are typical of most doctoral programs in education in America. These common features are the focus of the next several chapters.

Contemporary mathematics, new trends in mathematics education, and current problems of teaching mathematics will be highlighted at the 1957 Summer Meeting of The rational Council of Teachers of Mathematics at Carleton College. Outstanding leaders in mathematics and education from all parts of the U.S. will participate in the meetings. Mathematics teachers wilt share their successful techniques at the many sessions on current teaching problems.

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.
