Popis: The study aimed to analyze the trends of mathematics education research published in the Journal of Mathematics Education in the last five years and to propose a future map for mathematics education research in the light of the analysis results, professors’ and experts’ views, and the contemporary international trends. The study used a simplified model to classify research in seven domains. Also, the researcher used a questionnaire for professors and experts to determine a future map for mathematics education research. The results showed the research trends in the Journal of Mathematics Education were most of the articles were single authored (79.5%), the use of the experimental methodology (63%), the dominance of teaching strategies research (37%), the number of primary school students (27%) followed by the middle school students (26%), the category of normal students (89.7%), and the experimental research using one independent variable (62.5%). For the dependent variables, the articles used two dependent variables (30.7%). Achievement was the most frequent at 17%. The interaction of one independent variable with two dependents variables was the most frequent and the research co-authored by professors was 11%. The study suggested a future map for future mathematics education research. Recommendations and suggestions were presented. Keywords: Research trends, research priorities, mathematics education, educational research
