Abstract

This descriptive study reports the types and frequency of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods articles published between 2005-2015 in the field of mathematics teacher education. Examination and discussion of articles by grade level, journal, and teacher type are also included. Most (n = 171, 77%) articles reviewed were empirical and involved the study of individuals (K-12 students, pre-service teachers, K-12 teachers/administrators, and/or pre-service faculty). Of these, 38.5% were qualitative, 12.2% were quantitative, and 24.9% utilized mixed method studies.
