R.L. Moore - Pioneer of Math Education Reform

Some blog followers might be interested in a recent post “R.L. Moore - Pioneer of Math Education Reform #2” [Hake (2013)]. The abstract reads:

************************************************
ABSTRACT: Contrary to the misrepresentation of the “Moore Method” http://bit.ly/LElQzB by direct instructionist Wayne Bishop at http://bit.ly/137Wvvk I excerpt ten commentaries demonstrating that the Moore Method is, in fact, (a) an example of “math education reform,” and (b) taught by a “guide on the side.” The commentators are:

1. Keith Devlin (1999) in “The Greatest Math Teacher Ever” part 1 at http://bit.ly/12GYCSR and part 2 at http://bit.ly/17pBWdu.

2. Educational Achievement Foundation’s (2006) “A Quick-Start Guide to the Moore Method” at http://bit.ly/ZvQZly.

3. Paul Halmos in “The Problem of Learning to Teach” (Halmos, Moise, & Piranian, 1975) at http://bit.ly/12BgyOP.

4. F. Burton Jones (1977) in “The Moore method” at http://bit.ly/17nyIaB.

5. Albert C. Lewis (1999) in “Reform and Tradition in Mathematics Education: The Example of R.L. Moore” at http://bit.ly/YbjUoy.
