Abstract
A reader from outside mathematics education research may be surprised at the diversity within the chapters in this section. There is a long tradition of educational research into the teaching and learning of mathematics, beginning with cognitive issues associated with mathematical content and its impact on the learning of different topics, and moving towards a consideration of broader issues in an effort to understand better the myriad factors that influence what takes place in mathematics learning environments.
