[Maths-Education] Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal 30 (Oct 2016) now available

[Ernest, Paul]

Dear Colleagues,


Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal  no. 30 (Oct 2016) - contents below - is now available online via


 http://socialsciences.exeter.ac.uk/education/research/centres/stem/publications/pmej/


Special thanks go to all the contributors for making their work freely available for the international community of scholars!


I am in the process of finalizing PoME Jnl no. 31 which contains contributions from the Study Group (TSG 53) on The Philosophy of Mathematics Education at the recent excellent congress ICME-13, in Hamburg, July 2016. Look out for this one very soon! Final details of this issue will be circulated on publication.


A selection of papers from PoME Jnl no. 31 will be revised for inclusion in a proposed monograph with Springer on The Philosophy of Mathematics Education, planned for 2017. However this is not a closed project! Proposals or ideas for further  new chapters for this book are sought, to make it a state of the art collection on the topic. New submissions may also be considered for the next issue

PoME Jnl  for 2017.

 (Final submission of chapters for the book 31 Dec 2016)

Aim of the Journal The aim is to foster awareness of philosophical aspects of mathematics education and mathematics, understood broadly to include most kinds of theoretical reflection and research in mathematics education; to freely disseminate new thinking and to encourage informal communication, dialogue and international co-operation between teachers, scholars and others engaged in such research and reflection.



Editorial policy.  This is an international refereed journal that aims to stimulate the sharing of research for no reason other than a love of ideas and their discussion. The editorial hand is used very lightly. Many types of submission  are welcome including papers, short contributions, discussions, provocations, reactions or reviews. Graduate students are warmly invited to submit relevant assignments and theses for inclusion in the journal, to make resources available to the research community, that might otherwise be inaccessible, in mathematics education and/or the philosophy of mathematics. Already published papers and conference presentations can be republished in this journal to broaden their availibilty, provided authors obtain any necessary permisions.

Format of submissions: Please send any items for inclusion to the editor as a virus-checked attachment in MS Word or compatible formats. There are no strict guidelines – authors are requested to make their submissions look like previously published papers – especially the first page headers, etc.

Refereeing: All papers are submitted to peer-review on which decisions whether to accept, require revisions or reject are based.

Copyright Notice.  All materials published herein remain copyright of the named authors, or of the editor if unattributed. Permission is given to freely copy the journal contents on a not-for-profit basis, provided full credit is given to the author and the journal, and the integrity of papers is preserved.

Acknowledgement The journal is made possible by the generous support of University of Exeter Graduate School of Education STEM Research Centre. Special thanks are due to Jo Moncur and the Research Centre director Professor Rupert Wegerif.
