A word from Douglas McLeod on the special issue on Affect in Mathematics Education

With thanks to all the authors and the guest editors, Nélia Amado and Pietro Di Martino, who contributed to the edition of the thematic issue of Quadrante on the theme of Affect in Mathematics Education, we would like to share with the readers a message of praise from Douglas McLeod, who greatly honours and encourages us. With his kind consent and that of María del Socorro García González, who received and shared the message, we quote:

"I have been retired for a long time, but I am delighted that you continue to develop, expand, and improve the research base for improving mathematics education. It is very clear to me now that the work done on affective issues during my days was quite limited in its theoretical foundation, and I am very pleased that you are leading the efforts to strengthen research on affect in mathematics learning”.
