Scholarly Interests
Dr. Wasserman's scholarly interests in mathematics education lie primarily in teacher education, particularly in the area of secondary teachers鈥 (advanced) mathematical knowledge and development. Simplistically, this work revolves around a central question: What does a secondary mathematics teacher, for example an algebra teacher, gain from taking advanced mathematics courses, such as abstract algebra? That is, Dr. Wasserman is particularly interested in the intersection of a teacher鈥檚 knowledge of advanced mathematics and the practices they engage in while teaching mathematics. Primarily, this has been in the context of two tertiary mathematics courses: Abstract Algebra and Real Analysis. As part of this work, he has collaborated with various faculty from other national and international institutions to develop an instructional model for teaching advanced mathematics courses for secondary teacher education. His research and scholarship have developed and made explicit the notion that identifying connections to the content of school mathematics, while important, is not the same as making connections to the teaching of school mathematics content.
In addition to this interest in secondary mathematics teacher education, Dr. Wasserman's scholarship also includes interests in combinatorics education, both at the secondary and tertiary levels, and the use of dynamic technology in teaching mathematics. His focus on combinatorics education explicitly considers the role that sets of outcomes - especially set-theoretic encoded outcomes - can play in students' development of combinatorial reasoning. He has studied the ways that different combinatorial problems might lend themselves to different models of outcomes, and how these interact with students approaches to solving problems. In terms of technology, his particular interest is in the use of dynamic technology as a tool for instructors to design opportunities for teaching and learning mathematics, both at the secondary and tertiary levels. This work has included exploring various dynamic technologies, creating models for dynamic technology use in particular courses, as well as designing new dynamic technologies themselves.
