Abstract
Teachers interested in improving teaching and learning are potential researchers for they are in the best position to ask questions and collect data for analysis about student learning. This review focuses on 101 research studies done at the National Institute of Education by Singapore teachers as dissertations and theses presented for postgraduate degrees from 1991 to 2005. The objectives of this review are to provide a perspective of current development and practice in teacher research in Singapore and identify important variables that should be considered in future research. This will have implications for extending the body of knowledge in mathematics education and stimulating more research in the decade ahead.
