Reflections on the National Mathematics Advisory Panel Final Report

ANTHONY E. KELLY is a professor of educational psychology in the College of Education and Human Development, George Mason University, 4087 University Drive, Fairfax VA 22030, akelly1{at}gmu.edu. His research interests include design research methods, cognitive neuro-science and mathematics learning

In March 2008, the National Mathematics Advisory Panel final report was released. This report was produced in response to an executive order from President George W. Bush. The report is important because of its subject matter—improving mathematics teaching and learning—its historically significant genesis, and the strong position that the report takes on the primacy of quantitative methods in education research. The author briefly introduces the report and then draws attention to some of the main points in the commentaries offered in this special issue of Educational Researcher. The special issue ends with a rejoinder from the chair and co-chair of the report.

Key Words: federal government • mathematics education • National Mathematics Advisory Panel • policy • research methods
