National Reflections on the Netherlands Didactics of Mathematics: Teaching and Learning in the Context of Realistic Mathematics Education
This open access book, inspired by the ICME 13 Thematic Afternoon on “European Didactic Traditions”, consists of 17 chapters, in which educators from the Netherlands reflect on the teaching and learning of mathematics in their country and the role of the Dutch domain-specific instruction theory of Realistic Mathematics Education. Written by mathematics teachers, mathematics teacher educators, school advisors, and developers and researchers in the field of instructional material, textbooks, and examinations, the book offers a multitude of perspectives on important issues in Dutch mathematics education, both at primary and secondary school levels. Topics addressed include the theoretical underpinnings of the Dutch approach, the subject of mathematics in the Dutch educational system, teacher education and testing, the history of mathematics education and the use of history in teaching of mathematics, changes over time in subject matter domains and in the use of technology, and the process of innovation and how the Dutch and in particular one Dutch institute have worked on the reform.

About the authors
Prof. dr. Marja van den Heuvel-Panhuizen is a Full Professor of Mathematics Education at Utrecht University and holds a chair at the Freudenthal Institute of Mathematics and Science Education (FIsme) of the Science Faculty and at the Department of Pedagogical and Educational Sciences of the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. She works as a researcher at the Freudenthal Institute since 1987 and was and is involved in many national and international projects. Among other things, in the winter semester 2004-2005, she had a guest professorship at Dortmund University and from 2005 to 2010 she was a visiting professor at IQB of Humboldt University Berlin, where she was involved in a national project on the evaluation and implementation of the standards for primary school mathematics in Germany. In 2012 she received the Svend Pedersen Lecture Award from the Department of Mathematics and Science Education of Stockholm University. Her research interests lie with instruction theory for mathematics education and the further development of the didactics of mathematics as a scientific discipline. Her special interest is assessment. Her focus is on mathematics education in primary school, special education, and early childhood. She is currently involved in research projects on picture books, ICT in mathematics education, STEM talents of young children, students’ early algebraic thinking, identifying special education students’ mathematical potential, disclosing student’s difficulties in solving context problems, textbook analysis and improving classroom assessment.
