Regents Professor, Mathematics Education
Dr. Kilpatrick's responsibilities in the Department of Education include
-- Appointment as a Regents Professor
-- Teacher of master's and doctoral courses on curriculum and on research
-- Supervisor of preservice secondary mathematics teachers
Before joining the faculty at Georgia in 1975, I taught at Teachers College, Columbia University. I hold an A.B. and M.A. from the University of California at Berkeley, an M.S. and a Ph.D. from Stanford University, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. I was appointed Regents Professor at Georgia in 1993. I have taught courses in mathematics education at several European and Latin American universities and have received Fulbright awards for work in New Zealand, Spain, Colombia, and Sweden. I was a charter member of the U.S. Mathematical Sciences Education Board and served two terms as Vice President of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction. I co-edited the series Soviet Studies in the Psychology of Learning and Teaching Mathematics from 1969 to 1975 and was editor of the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education from 1982 to 1988. Among my other editorial work, I edited the chapters on curriculum for the 1996 International Handbook of Mathematics Education and co-edited the two-volumes of the 1998 publication Mathematics Education as a Research Domain. My publications include a chapter on the history of research in mathematics education in the 1992 Handbook of Research on Mathematics Teaching and Learning and a co-authored research report on an innovative precalculus course in the 1996 Volume 3 of Bold Ventures: Case Studies of U.S. Innovations in Mathematics Education. I currently chair a committee of the National Research Council to review the research on mathematics learning from grades K to 8 and am editing a volume on the research accompanying the revised standards in school mathematics to be published in April by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. My research interests include mathematics curricula, research in mathematics education, and the history of both.
