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.
NCTM has adopted Linking Research and Practice as a priority for the Council. The Annual Meeting strengthens the links between research and practice in the Council’s ongoing work.
Opening Session: Monday, April 19, 7:00 p.m.
Concurrent sessions: Tuesday, April 20, 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Wednesday, April 21, 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.
A plenary session on Wednesday morning (April 21) will highlight the theme, Linking Research and Practice. Sessions including individual papers, research symposia, and work sessions will be scheduled, allowing members of the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) and other practitioners 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.
