Here's what's on RG regarding your topic as I am not familiar myself with that method.

I've found two links with information about the topic (if you refer to JUMP Math program):

http://www.jumpmath.org/jump/en/journals

http://jumpmath.org/jump/

In the second one you can find research results.

Is this methodology related to entusiasmat from tekman books?

JUMP Math program is different than EntusiasMAT (tekman books).

I have searched "investigación sobre entusiasmat" and "research on entusiasmat" in a search machine but I have found nothing.

I don't know any research about this programme, but I guess they could be open to collaborate, in order to validate their methods. Perhaps conctacting with Tekman books would be a good idea.

Dear Debra, thanks for your recommendation

Dear Lluis, exactly. I mean the method published by Tekman books

Sincerely

The abstract of this recent article begins "Enthusiasm is considered an important characteristic of effective teachers. However, the conceptualization of the term in the research literature is inconsistent...."

Hi Rita, you are doing an interesting work with your students.

I think the long-term results are better with methods like these.

Tell me what is your experience.

Sincerely

 Dear Keith

Thank you for the reference.

Hello David,

I think there is no research on entusiasmat. It's the same with other relatively new innovative methods such as "ABN algorithms" or as the approach of Tony Martin (formerly CEIP Aguamansa in La Laguna) or Numicon (method on that there is research in UK, but not in Spain).

This is an example of how research in mathematics education is quite distant from the classroom and has its focus on publishing more than in transforming teaching and improving education.
