2022 Strands & Keywords EN

PME-NA 2022 List of Strands

For this year’s conference, we have created new strands and reframed others. First, content strands have returned to the previous organization by conceptual category rather than grade band. Second, Theory and Research Methods has been removed as a strand with the expectation that proposals for this category can be appropriately placed as a theoretical contribution in another strand. 

StrandDescription
Curriculum, Assessment, and Related TopicsThis strand is for proposals that focus on curriculum analysis, development, implementation, or assessment and evaluation.
Equity and JusticeThis strand is for proposals that focus on marginalization, systems of oppression, or other similar issues related to mathematics education at any level or in any context.
Professional Development/ In-Service Teacher EducationThis strand is for proposals that focus on in-service (practicing) teacher learning and professional development.
Mathematical Knowledge for TeachingThis strand is for proposals that focus on teachers’ (or teacher educators’) mathematics knowledge in relation to teaching.
Mathematical Processes and PracticesThis strand is for proposals that focus on topics related to the mathematical processes or practices such as, but not limited to: problem solving, reasoning, proof, modeling, etc.
Policy, Instructional Leadership, Teacher EducatorsThis strand is for proposals that focus on policy, reform, or instructional leadership, including proposals that focus on teacher leaders, coaches, or teacher educators as the subjects of research.
Pre-Service Teacher EducationThis strand is for proposals that focus on the development of prospective teachers and their knowledge, beliefs, and/or attitudes.
Student Learning and Related FactorsThis strand is for proposals that focus on students’ experiences and the influence of various factors (e.g., beliefs, identity, culture) on mathematical learning.
Teaching Practice and Classroom ActivityThis strand is for proposals that focus on analyzing the nature of classroom instruction and activity of students and teachers (e.g., discourse, culturally relevant pedagogy). 
Technology and Learning Environment DesignThis strand is for proposals that focus on the use and development of technology or digital tools for, and in, teaching and learning, on technology as curricular or assessment tools, and on the design of technology-based learning environments.
Early Algebra, Algebraic Thinking, and FunctionThis strand is for proposals that focus on the teaching and learning of early algebra, algebra, and function.
Geometry and MeasurementThis strand is for proposals that focus on the teaching and learning of geometry, measurement, and spatial reasoning.
Number Concepts and Proportional ReasoningThis strand is for proposals that focus on the teaching and learning of number concepts and proportional reasoning. 
Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Higher MathThis strand is for proposals that focus on the teaching and learning of precalculus, calculus, or higher levels of mathematics.
Statistics, Probability, and Data ScienceThis strand is for proposals that focus on the teaching and learning of statistics, probability, and data science.
