life and work

Jeremy Kilpatrick studied at the University of California at Berkeley with a bachelor's degree (AB) in 1956 and a master's degree (MA) in 1960 as well as at Stanford University , where he received a Master of Science in 1962 and with Edward G. Begle in 1967 (with George Pólya as the second speaker) in mathematics education (Analyzing the Solutions of Word Problems in Mathematics: An Exploratory Study). From 1961 to 1963 he was a teaching assistant at the School Mathematics Study Group at Stanford and then a research assistant. In 1967 he was assistant professor and later associate professor at Teachers College of Columbia University . Since 1975 he was Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Georgia , where he became Regents Professor in 1993 .

In 1995 he received an honorary doctorate in Gothenburg . In 2007 he received the Felix Klein Medal from the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). 1973/74 he was visiting professor at Cambridge , 1988 Distinguished Scholar at San Diego State University . He also taught at various other European and Latin American universities (including Germany in 1976). He was a Fulbright scholar in New Zealand (1987), Colombia, Spain (1989) and Sweden. He was twice Vice President of ICMI and is a member of the US Mathematical Sciences Education Board .

Kilpatrick served on the committee of the National Research Council , which published the 2001 report on mathematics teaching Adding it up , and the Mathematics Study Panel of the RAND Corporation , which published the 2002 report Mathematical Proficiency for All Students . He is a senior scientist at the University of Georgia and University of Michigan Center for Proficiency in Mathematics Teaching (CPTM) , which is funded by the National Science Foundation .

Among other things, he dealt with the evaluation of mathematics curricula, problem-solving skills and problem-solving in mathematics, studies of mathematics tests and history of research on mathematics education. From 1969 to 1975 he was editor of translations on mathematical education from Russian ( Soviet Studies in the Psychology of Learning and Teaching Mathematics , published by the School Mathematics Study Group in Stanford). From 1982 to 1988 he was editor of the Journal of Research in Mathematics Education .

In 1996 he edited the curriculum chapters in the International Handbook of Mathematics Education and in 1998 the research chapters in the Second International Handbook of Mathematics Education .
