Philadelphia Marriott Downtown
Research Presession Overview
The NCTM Research Presession serves multiple purposes. First, it annually brings researchers together to examine and discuss current issues in mathematics education. Second, it is a chance for researchers to receive feedback on their work and to benefit from exposure to alternative points of view. Third, the Research Presession is an opportunity to capitalize on the collective wisdom available when researchers and practitioners come together to discuss mathematics education and research. Finally, the Research Presession affords beginning scholars opportunities to interact and network with veteran researchers in the field.
As in past years, in support of NCTM's commitment to linking research and practice, Wednesday sessions will be open to anyone registered for the NCTM Annual Meeting or NCSM.
Opening Session: Monday, April 23, 2012, 7:00 p.m.
Concurrent sessions: Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Wednesday, April 25, 2012, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
A plenary session on Wednesday morning (April 25) will highlight the theme, Linking Research and Practice. Wednesday sessions including interactive papers, research symposia, work sessions, and posters, allowing members of the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) and other practitioners registered for the NCTM Annual Meeting interested in research to attend. These sessions will focus on the interface between practice and research.
The Research Presession is sponsored by the NCTM Research Committee and the Special Interest Group on Research in Mathematics Education of the American Educational Research Association.
