Abstract: 

In this report we present the results of an international research study on the training of researchers in mathematics education. The study was carried out by some members of The International Study Group on Theory of Mathematics Education.<br><br>The research consisted of developing a questionnaire which was mailed to numerous institutions all over the world, and the anlaysis of the answers which were received.<br><br>The main objective of the study was to collect international data about the training of researchers in mathematics education and to establish an information network about graduate programs in the field.<br><br>A total of about 150 questionnaires were sent out and 78 answers received. Fifteen of these answers came from universities that wish to participate in the network but which do not at present have a program.
