The Handbook of Research Design in Mathematics and Science Education is based on results from an NSF-supported project aimed at clarifying the nature of principles that govern the effective use of merging new research designs in mathematics and science education. A primary goal of the authors is to describe several of the most important types of research designs that (a) have been pioneered recently by mathematics and science educators; (b) have distinctive characteristics when they are used in projects that focus on mathematics and science education; and (c) have proven to be...
