Mathematics education in contrast has a variable and culturally
based character, and this is certainly true of educational
organization and practice. Educational research is both an applied
social science and a multidisciplinary domain of theoretical
scholarship.
Among organizations devoted to mathematics education, The
International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) is
distinctive because of its close ties to the mathematics community.
The great challenges now facing mathematics education around the
world demand a deeper and more sensitive involvement of
disciplinary mathematicians than we now have, both in the work of
educational improvements and in research on the nature of teaching
and learning.
This book constitutes the Proceedings of the Ninth International
Conference on Mathematical Education (ICME9), which was held in
Tokyo/Makuhari Japan, in July and August 2000. ICME9 brought
together experts from 70 countries, working to understand the
challenges of mathematics education including boundary crossing and
collaboration, such as the need to reconcile language,
epistemology, norms of evidence and, in general, all of the
intellectual and attitudinal challenges that face multidisciplinary
research and development.
The program for ICME9 reflects a truly international character
and includes four distinguished regular lectures, 52 lectures, four
national presentations and reports from current ICMI Studies and
ICMI Affiliated Study Groups. The goal of the meeting was to offer
presentations and learning on various aspects of mathematics
educations; its research, experiences, materials, and information
with special emphasis on achievements and trends thatarose in
mathematics education during the period of 1996-2000, and that
would make important contributions to mathematics education in the
new century.
