This summer, EDCP & UBC are hosting two prestigious, international mathematics and science conferences with leading scholars from around the world presenting their research in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM, July12-15) and the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME- NA & International, July 15-20). The proposed course is designed to allow students who will be presenting at either of the conferences and/or who will be participating in either or both conferences to take advantage of contemporary, cutting edge and emerging research in these areas. The focus of this course, then, is to review contemporary research in science and mathematics education, with a particular focus on the themes of “STEM education and our Planet: Making connections across contexts” and/ “Mathematics Education at the Edge: social justice, equity, peace & Indigenous education”. The course will have face-to-face and virtual components and will be organized as follows. Prior to the conference(s) we will meet for two seminars, where we will identify and discuss trends in recently published literature, students’ research interests, and ways to orient ourselves to the upcoming conference presentations and papers. During the conference(s), students will attend a designated number of presentations and read the associated conference papers. Daily postings to an online discussion board sharing insights, posing questions and engaging in reflection, will be required during this period. After the conference(s), we will meet for two seminars to examine retrospectively insights and issues and to identify and discuss implications for research, practice and theory. The major assignment for the course will be a critical review and synthesis of the papers read.
This course provides Ph.D. and Masters students attending and/or presenting at the conference(s), a focused, sustained, guided and collaborative experience.
*NB: July 10, 11: TBA; July 21, 22 : TBA (face-to-face sessions). During the conferences (STEM July12-15; PME July 15-20) students will be required to attend presentations (18 hours) and participate in online discussions (9 hours).
