Questionnaire regarding researchers-teachers in mathematics education

The CORMEA group (financed by NordplusVuxen) is a Nordic cooperation of professionals who work with Mathematics Education. The main purpose of this group is to bridge the gap between teachers and researchers of Mathematics Education. With this questionnaire, we wish to get feedback concerning your experience of and attitude towards mathematics education. We have a special interest in Mathematics Education for adults but all experiences of research-teacher contacts are of interest to us.

You may answer in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or English.

Your contribution is important for our survey and we thank you for your cooperation.
