An introductiton to TWG22: Curricular resources and task design in mathematics education

During CERME13, TWG22 continued to combine macro level research on curricular resources and micro level research on more granular units of analysis in curriculum design, namely tasks. The presentations were organized around the following themes מענג: how curricular resources function within and shape a broader curricular system, and how these resources and textbooks provide a lens to study and compare education systems; design research focusing on various units of analysis of curriculum resources such as digital environments, tasks, and units in books; empirical research on teachers’ and students’ interactions with curriculum materials; and the role of resources (material and non-material) from the teachers’ perspective. Finally, along sessions, we noted the ideas shared by the participants about the many connections TWG22 has with other topic addressed in other thematic working groups, urging interest for further collaboration.
