[Peter Taylor]

An interesting opportunity to play a part in shaping the research 
agenda in mathematics education, by contributing a question to 
plenary session 2 at ICME 11.  Responses are needed from all 
countries and all levels!  As researchers in education, what should 
we be doing?

ICME 11 Mexico 2008

11th International Congress on Mathematics Education

Monterrey, Mexico, July 6 - 13, 2008

Help to shape the Research Agenda in Mathematics Education!

PLENARY SESSION 2 SURVEY
What do we need to know?

Does research in mathematics education address the concerns of 
teachers and policy makers?

Moderator of PS2:
David Clarke (Australia)

Panelists:
Paul Cobb (USA)
Mariolina Bartolini Bussi (Italy)
Teresa Rojano (Mexico)
Shiqi Li (China)


One of the plenary activities for ICME 11 will be a panel 
presentation addressing the question of whether research in 
mathematics education is providing the information that teachers and 
policy makers most need. The panel members are mathematics education 
researchers from different countries, who will respond to teachers' 
and policy makers' questions submitted through this website.

WE NEED YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS!

Whether or not you plan to attend ICME 11 - and we hope you do - you 
can make an important contribution by letting us know how research 
can help you.

To do this, we invite you to submit an important question that you 
think should be answered by research in mathematics education and 
also to indicate whether research has helped you in the past and, if so, how.

WE NEED RESPONSES FROM ALL COUNTRIES, ALL SCHOOL TYPES AND ALL LEVELS 
OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM INCLUDING TEACHERS, POLICY MAKERS AND CURRICULUM 
DEVELOPERS.
This is your chance to play a part in shaping the research agenda in 
mathematics education. To do this, please go to the ICME 11 website 
(http://icme11.org/) and select the Plenary Session 2 Survey link. It 
is important that you and your colleagues make your views known and 
contribute to shaping the direction of mathematics education research 
internationally.

A REPORT WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE CONFERENCE WEBSITE OF 
BOTH THE SUBMISSIONS AND THE RESPONSES OF THE PLENARY PANEL.
