Abstract
In this editorial we explain the background to the research papers reported in this special issue, and to some extent how each paper relates to this body of work. In particular we outline the research projects and research teams that worked together between 2006 and 2014 on projects that related to the theme of transition, and we provide the knowledge base on which these papers build.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences which contribute to the improvement of mathematics teaching and learning for students from upper secondary/high school level through to university first degree level. A distinctive feature of the journal is its emphasis on the applications of mathematics and mathematical modelling within the context of mathematics education world-wide. The journal"s readership consists of mathematics teachers, students, researchers and those concerned with curriculum development and assessment, indeed anyone concerned about the education of users of mathematics.
