Book Overview

For more than 25 years, the pioneering research and theories of Norbert Seel have had a profound impact on educational thought in mathematics. In this special tribute, an international panel of researchers presents the current state of model-based education: its research, methodology, and technology.

Extensive reading lists, provocative graphics, and a wealth of cultural touchstones from the Bible to Bob Dylan make this an accessible yet thought provoking collection. This synthesis of latest innovations and fresh perspectives on classic constructs makes the book cutting-edge reading for the researchers and educators in mathematics instruction building the next generation of educational models.
