Abstract
Since 2004, each edition of the MERGA Research Review has invited the previous editorial team to write a chapter that reflects on issues that have occurred since the last Review. As the editorial team for Research in Mathematics Education in Australasia 2012–2015 (RiMEA-9), we have followed suit. The reflection chapters often compare the current MERGA ReviewMERGA Review with the previous one. Given that this is the tenth MERGA ReviewMERGA Review, we have taken the opportunity to look further back from RiMEA-1 in 1984 until now (RiMEA-10). Like the previous Review, we also comment on how mathematics education research in Australasia is affected by new reforms that have occurred in the past four years. In particular, we examine the implications of recent changes in initial teacherTeacher educationeducationInitial teacher education, STEMScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teaching and learning, and the assessmentAssessment of research impact and engagementEngagement. We use these three areas of reform to reflect on how related issues projected in the chapters of the last review played out and urge mathematics education researchers to focus their research on implications of these reforms for the field.
