Proceedings of the Tenth ERME Topic Conference (ETC 10) on Mathematics Education in the Digital Age (MEDA)

Abstract

The fifth ERME Topic Conference for Mathematics Education in the Digital Age (MEDA), held in September 2018 in Copenhagen was inspired by the contributions to the Thematic Working Groups 15 and 16 at CERME 10 in Dublin, which highlighted the diversity of current research and its overlaps with other TWG themes. MEDA was an interdisciplinary, multifaceted collaboration that brought together participants who would normally attend a range of CERME Thematic Working Groups to provide the opportunity for further in-depth discussion and debate. The successful conference experience resulted in an intensive communication and collaboration, which continued through the collegial work that culminated in the publication of a post-conference book in the ERME Series published by Routledge. Moreover, inspired by the contributions to the Thematic Working Groups 15 and 16 in the last CERME 11 in Utrecht, the second conference, MEDA2, provides the opportunity for further in-depth discussion and debate. The conference welcomed theoretical, methodological, empirical or developmental papers and poster proposals in relation to the following themes: Theme 1: Mathematics teacher education and professional development in the digital age Theme 2: Mathematics curriculum development and task design in the digital age Theme 3: Assessment in mathematics education in the digital age Theme 4: Theoretical perspectives and methodologies/approaches for researching mathematics education in the digital age The Conference Proceedings of the 10th ERME Topic Conference MEDA 2020 are rich in the variety of content-formats and are therefore structured in two parts. They include the contributions of the plenary speakers and all the 67 reviewed and accepted submissions from participants, organised as four chapters according to the aforementioned themes.
