[Maths-Education] ICME Discussion Group on Contemporary Philosophy / Inferentialism

[Maike Schindler]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that there will be a Discussion Group (DG) on Contemporary Philosophy/Inferentialism in mathematics and statistics education on ICME 13 in Hamburg, called

"Applying Contemporary Philosophy in Mathematics and Statistics Education: the Perspective of Inferentialism".

Inferentialism, which is increasingly gaining interest in mathematics and statistics education, can be considered as an orienting framework, which provides ontological and epistemological foundations for conceptualizing and analyzing knowledge, learning, communication, and reasoning in the fields of mathematics and statistics. Inferentialism avoids a representationalist perspective; instead reasoning and inferences are crucial aspects of research linked to inferentialism. The DG aims to bring together researchers who are interested in the role and use of inferentialism or other contemporary philosophies in mathematics and statistics education. It will contribute to an exchange of ideas and networking.

For the DG, we welcome paper contributions that are closely related to inferentialism or other contemporary philosophies in mathematics and statistics education. Attached, you find a call for contributions. The DG addresses research that uses inferentialism or other contemporary philosophies as background or foreground theories in mathematics/statistics education as well as research using inferentialism and other contemporary philosophies for empirical purposes (see attached document). Please send us your individual contributions as soon as possible, but not later than March 15, 2016 (maike.schindler at oru.se<mailto:maike.schindler at oru.se>). Please be aware that your contribution should not exceed a space limit of two pages and should be written in the ICME poster template available via http://icme13.org/submission_process/paper_and_poster_template.

Important side note: Participation in a DG does not interfere with participation in a TSG, as TSGs have other time slots (see http://www.icme13.org/files/timetable.pdf).

Looking forward to an exciting conference!

Best wishes,
Kate Mackrell, Maike Schindler, Arthur Bakker & Dave Pratt
