ICME-13 and TSG-2:  Mathematics Education at Tertiary Level

The aim of this Topic Study Group will be to discuss and to exchange recent trends and perspectives from around the world. The topic is broad, not only because of the geographical and cultural diversity, but also because of the variety of students that take Mathematics at tertiary level: future research mathematicians; students pursuing a degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics; liberal arts students; prospective teachers shaping a view of school Mathematics from a new standpoint - just to mention a few target groups and levels. Within their specific contexts, each of these groups is entering a new learning and social environment and may experience difficulties in the transition to more advanced mathematical activities. More recently, the emergence of digital technologies has led to changes in syllabi and to new paradigms of teaching and learning.

To this end, we invite the mathematics education community to submit contributions that address themes relevant to TSG 2, including:


  *   The extent to which research advances from different theoretical perspectives have an actual impact on university classroom teaching and learning.
  *   Transition to university mathematics teaching and learning.
  *   Design of learning environment and uses of technology in tertiary mathematics education.
  *   Advanced mathematical topics in pre-service teacher education and their relationships with content knowledge for teaching.

Proposals are due Oct. 1, 2015. Details are attached or you can visit http://www.icme13.org/files/tsg/TSG_2.pdf.
