Mathematics education research should come more often with breaking news

Abstract

I feel it as a very great honor to be selected for the Svend Pedersen Lecture Award and I would like to thank the Department of Mathematics and Science Education of Stockholm University for showing interest in my work and evaluating it in such a positive way that it is worthy of receiving this award named after Svend Pedersen who is so important for you in Sweden in the field of science education research – and I assume this also includes mathematics education research. In particular, I appreciate Svend Pedersen’s effort to incorporate results from education research into the curricula of teacher education and give teachers and teacher educators access to results from education research.
