Abstract:
The goal of this working group is to examine the role replication studies should have in mathematics education research. In recent years psychology has been gripped by serious methodological concerns: the so-called ‘replication crisis’. A large number of psychology academics now believe that many published research findings cannot be replicated. This working group will discuss the replication crisis in psychology, discuss the extent to which similar issues apply in mathematics education, and consider potential solutions.
