Abstract
Keywords:
mathematics education; scientific discipline; PhD studies; history of mathematics education
The article contains a brief survey of the history of mathematics education as a science abroad and points out how it has influenced the Czech mathematics education research. An emphasis is placed on research carried out within a PhD study at the Faculty of Education, Charles University in Prague. On the example of a concrete PhD Board some prerequisites of a successful existence of mathematics education as an independent discipline are summarised: active researchers in mathematics education, integration into the trends of foreign research, rigorous usage of existing research results, contact with boarder fields (mainly mathematics, pedagogy, psychology) and practice (teachers), creating a scientific community.
