About the Journal | Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College

The Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College (JMETC) is a recreation of an earlier publication by the Program in Mathematics and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. As a peer-reviewed, semiannual journal, it is intended to provide dissemination opportunities for writers of practice-based or research contributions to the general field of mathematics education. Although each of the past issues of JMETC focused on a theme, the journal accepts articles related to any current topic in mathematics education, from which pertinent themes for future issues may be developed.

JMETC readers are educators from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade teachers, principals, superintendents, professors of education, and other leaders in education. Articles appearing in the JMETC include research reports, commentaries on practice, historical analyses, and responses to issues and recommendations of professional interest.

Aims and Scope

We seek high-quality, original submissions that shed light on any theme in mathematics education. We welcome papers describing research and classroom practice in mathematics education. JMETC has a distinctive niche in the world of education publishing. We seek conversational manuscripts that are insightful and helpful to mathematics educators. Articles should contain fresh information, possibly research-based, that gives practical guidance readers can use to improve practice. Examples from classroom experience are encouraged. Articles must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere.

Journal Subscription

The journal is converting primarily to electronic publication. All JMETC issues— including all future and archived issues—will be accessible and available for free electronically online at: jmetc.columbia.edu. To receive email notification when new issues are published, please register on the journal website. However, if you wish to continue to receive paper copies of the journal, please send an email to jmetc@tc.columbia.edu, including your name, affiliation, and mailing address.

Articles

The journal features full reports (approximately 3500 to 4500 words) and short reports (approximately 500 to 1500 words). Full reports describe findings from specific research, experiments, projects, innovations, or practices that contribute to advancing scholarly knowledge in mathematics education. Short reports (previously “Notes from the field”) provide examples, commentary, and/or dialogue about practices out in the field of mathematics education or mathematics teacher education; examples from classroom experience are encouraged.
