From C.Bokhove at soton.ac.uk Tue Jul 2 21:18:59 2019 From: C.Bokhove at soton.ac.uk (Christian Bokhove) Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2019 21:18:59 +0100 Subject: [Maths-Education] post at the University of Southampton Message-ID: Dear all, We are looking for a lecturer at Southampton's Mathematics, Science and Health Education research centre. It would be good to see some strong mathematics education candidates; I think especially themes like curriculum design, mathematics textbooks, technology use and international comparisons are relevant for what we do now (and more!) but you may amaze us with anything mathematics education. The full text is at: https://jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=1149519CJ Some text from the advertisement: Applications are invited from those who have a successful and proven track record of research and publication in Mathematics and / or Science and / or Health Education research, and who possess ambitions in line with those of the School. You will have a PhD (or equivalent) qualifications and experience in Education or in a related discipline, relevant post-graduate teaching or lecturing experience. You will be expected to teach across a range of courses reflecting your academic interests and experience, and to participate fully in the research activities of the School. You will be an integral member of the MSHE research centre and therefore need to be a team player as well as capable of leading your own research agenda. You will be able to demonstrate that you are ready for the REF2021 submission through a publication record and research trajectory that demonstrates high quality. There will be opportunities to develop your knowledge and expertise through staff development courses and events. For an informal discussion about the posts, please contact the Head of School, Professor Martin Dyke on 023 8059 5563 or email mcd at southampton.ac.uk. Or Heads of MSHE Professor Marcus Grace M.M.Grace at soton.ac.uk or Dr Christian Bokhove C.Bokhove at soton.ac.uk.

We will be hosting a workshop for STEM lecturers at the Mathematics Education Centre, Loughborough University on Friday 16 August. The workshop is probably not for most members of this email list, but some of you may have colleagues in your institution you?d be kind enough to forward this to. The workshop is intended for any STEM lecturer interested in refining their teaching and feedback through engaging with education research and considering common student ways of thinking. We are particularly keen for newer STEM lecturers or those who have not engaged much with education research to attend. The workshop is funded by the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education. It is free to attend but please register in advance. We will provide refreshments and a lunch, and parking is free. To register email me, Ian Jones, at I.Jones at lboro.ac.uk More details here: https://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/mec/events/2019/workshop-stem-lecturers/ Thanks! Ian & Igor?

(Arthur)) Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2019 06:05:27 +0000 Subject: [Maths-Education] future themes/questions for maths education research: 1-question survey ESM-JRME Message-ID: Dear colleagues, Educational Studies in Mathematics (ESM) and the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME) intend to publish a few joint editorials in 2020 on important themes for mathematics education research of the future. Jinfa Cai and Arthur Bakker also intend to submit a discussion group on this topic at ICME in 2020. As input for the editorials and discussion, we seek your assistance and hope you are willing to formulate important themes or research questions. We intend to focus on research that will mostly likely have a positive influence, even if indirectly, on the practice of mathematics education. In your view, on what themes or research questions should mathematics education research focus in the coming decade? Please give your response by filling in this link https://www.formdesk.com/universiteitutrecht-beta/ESM_survey (before July 22) And feel encouraged to forward this link to colleagues with views on this question, in particular from scholars in underrepresented countries. Many thanks, Arthur Bakker (Editor-in-Chief of ESM) PS if you do not manage before July 22, but before September 15, we will still be able to incorporate your response for the ICME proposal Dr Arthur Bakker | Freudenthal Institute| Faculty of Science | Utrecht University | Princetonplein 5, room 465 |tel.

Best wishes Hilary Critical mathematics teaching for global citizenship: Difficulties and dilemmas Monday 9th September 2019, 10.30am-3.30pm Sheffield Hallam University For researchers, policy makers, teacher educators and others with an interest in mathematics education Professor Hilary Povey, Dr Gill Adams & Dr Fufy Demissie, Sheffield Hallam University Introduction to the project + an opportunity for participants to engage in a small selection of PiCaM activities in structured workshops Professor Lulu Healy, King's College London Dr Alf Coles, University of Bristol Seminar and discussion to consider the complexities and contradictions encountered in PiCaM Discussant: Dr Peter Wright, University College London The ERASMUS+ Project in Citizenship and Mathematics (PiCaM) run from SHU attempts to invoke a notion of citizenship based on shared values of inclusivity and equity for all. It aims to embed global learning content in mathematics curriculum materials (10-12 years) using participatory pedagogies and developing social, civic and intercultural competences and critical thinking. Taking the classroom materials from PiCaM as exemplars, this workshop and seminar will examine the difficulties and dilemmas faced in mathematics curriculum development which has social justice intentions and which incorporates teaching for global citizenship.

The major course readings span mathematics topics and grade levels, revealing insights gathered primarily in the psychological constructivist tradition into how understandings are constituted and develop in each major topic area (e.g., counting concepts, additive concepts, geometric concepts, rational number concepts, algebraic concepts, limit concepts). I typically have compiled a set of readings, but wonder if there's a text you could recommend that provides a general overview of the literature for each topic area in a serious but accessible format. The text could span the whole range of topics, or be specific to a grade level band such as elementary or secondary education. Your suggestion of a text would be greatly appreciated, even if you're not 100% sure it's what I'm looking for. The course has a clinical focus. Each student selects a topic area, writes a review of the conceptual development literature for that topic, and works one-on-one with a pupil at our laboratory school for five 1-hour sessions to develop their understanding of that topic. Students record and selectively transcribe the session as the basis for clinical reports which I read every week. I'm glad to share the syllabus if anyone is interested.
