(MEDA) from 5-7 September 2018 at the University of Copenhagen. This will be an interdisciplinary, multifaceted collaboration that will bring together participants who would normally attend a range of CERME Thematic Working Groups. We particularly welcome early career researchers. The International Programme Committee particularly welcomes theoretical, methodological, empirical or developmental papers and poster proposals in relation to the following conference themes: * Mathematics teacher education and professional development in the digital age: the specific knowledge, skills and attributes required for efficient/effective mathematics teaching with digital resources; the design and evaluation of mathematics teacher education and professional development programmes that embed the knowledge, skills and attributes to teach mathematics with digital resources. * Mathematics curriculum development and task design in the digital age: the design, evaluation and analysis of resources and tasks; the interactions of teachers and students with digital curriculum materials. * Theoretical perspectives and methodologies/approaches for researching mathematics education in the digital age: theories for research on technology use in mathematics education; the linking of theoretical and methodological approaches and the identification of conditions for productive dialogue between theorists, within mathematics education and beyond. For more information, registration and submission please see the first announcement on http://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/conferences/2018/meda/ The deadline for submissions of papers and proposals is March 01, 2018 ? that?s 4 weeks away!!

Various experts working in different scientific and technological fields are inspired by phenomena that combine mathematical and artistic qualities. Respectively, several contemporary artists, graphic designers, craftsmen, and craftswomen are fascinated by scientific discoveries, mathematics, and geometry and use the formulas and principles of each in different ways in their artistic and creative work. These can hold great potentials for teachers to enrich their teaching content and provide more motivation and engagement for their students. Schools are offered with various technological solutions, which can present mathematics & art connections on stimulating ways. Several educational projects and methodologies are implementing different interpretations of the relationship between these areas: teachers, education researchers and artists share a common interest in combining creative thinking, intellectual curiosity, and aesthetic sensibility in the learning process. > In the Technology and Arts in Mathematics Education (TAME) Workgroup we would like to explore these connections through examining each others? good practices in the field and by fostering a didactical, theoretical exchange of ideas. > > > Structure > ?

The Freudenthal Institute (FI) is a part of the Mathematics Department of the Faculty of Science of UU. Together with partners both within and outside the UU the FI makes an important contribution to innovation and improvement of science and mathematics education in the Netherlands. The mission of the FI is to contribute to high-quality education in science and mathematics through education research and valorisation. Successful innovation of science education depends on cooperation and sharing of knowledge between teachers, developers, support staff and other stakeholders along the developmental chain at both national and regional levels. As part of the Science Faculty of UU the FI aims to play a central part in this. The main focus of the activities of the FI is on continuous learning trajectories in secondary, higher and post-initial education. The FI consists of the Research group for mathematics and science education, the History and Philosophy of Science group (HPS) and U-Talent. We believe in the importance of strengthening and connecting the expertise of the various groups, and thereby raising the value of the institute within the field of science education. To achieve this, the FI cooperates with the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (FSW, COLUU) on continuous learning trajectories.
