STEERING COMMITTEE
You are cordially
invited to participate in the twenty-sixth conference Annual
Conference of the North American Chapter of the International
Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA),
to be held in Toronto, Ontario in October 21 to 24, 2004. The
conference is sponsored by the Ontario Institute for Studies
in Education at the University of Toronto. The conference provides
a forum for the exchange of research information on the psychology
of mathematics education. English is the official language.
History
of PME
PME
came into existence at the Third International Congress on Mathematical
Education (ICME-3) in Karlsrühe, Germany in 1976. It is
affiliated with the International Commission for Mathematical
Instruction.
Goals
of PME-NA
The
major goals of the International Group and the North American
Chapter are:
Conference Theme
The
theme of the conference is Building Connections Between
Communities. We especially encourage proposals that
highlight examples of the interplay between research and practice–practice
that has been shaped by research and research that grows out
of practice.
Scientific Program
Plenary Sessions
Invited plenary speakers will address the conference theme—Linking
Research and Practice—by raising issues for critical examination
by conference participants.
Research Reports
Research reports can be either theoretical or empirical and
can address any issue relevant to the goals of the organization.
Papers that address the theme are especially encouraged. During
each 40-minute session, the author makes a 20-minute presentation,
and 20 minutes are allotted for discussion with the audience.
An individual may serve as the primary presenting author for
only one research report. A 7-page paper will be published in
the Conference Proceedings. Proposals are due January 30, 2004
with final papers due June 1, 2004.
Short Oral Reports
Short oral sessions will consist of four15-minute presentations
on a similar topic followed by 30 minutes of audience discussion.
A 1-page abstract of each short oral will be published in the
Conference Proceedings. Proposals are due January 30, 2004 with
final papers due June 1, 2004.
Poster Presentations
A poster presentation is a visual display depicting a research
project, software development, curricular innovation, educational
program, or other item of interest to members of PME-NA. Posters
will be available for viewing throughout the conference, and
time will be set aside for participants to discuss posters
with the author(s). A one-page abstract of the poster will
be included
in the Conference Proceedings. Proposals are due March 30,
2004 with final papers due June 1, 2004.
Working Groups
A
working group provides an opportunity for individuals to come
together for a significant period of time to discuss issues
pertaining to a particular area of research. Working groups
will meet multiple times during the conference to facilitate
extended interactions among group members. Working groups from
PME-NA XXIII can submit proposals to continue their work if
it is the consensus of the organizer and members that the group
can be productively sustained for another year. Discussion groups
from PME-NA XXIV and PME-NA XXVcan submit proposals to become
working groups. One paper from each working group will be included
in the Conference Proceedings. Proposals are due January 30,
2004 with final papers due June 1, 2004
Discussion Groups
A
discussion group is a precursor to a working group. A discussion
group is formed for two years in order to articulate issues
and develop an agenda for future work. If the organizers and
participants determine that there is sufficient interest in
the group, the organizers can submit a proposal for a working
group the following year. One paper from each discussion group
will be included in the Conference Proceedings. Proposals are
due January 30, 2004 with final papers due June 1, 2004.
