This grant will support Pacific island scholars attendance at the joint meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics (PME) and its North American Chapter (PMENA) to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii in July, 2003. The Pacific island scholars will be selected mathematics specialists from the departments and ministries of education and college level mathematics instructors from the colleges and universities in Hawaii and on the U.S. affiliated Pacific island communities of American Samoa, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands and the Republic of Palau. NSF support will enable the Pacific island scholars to engage with the PME community for the first time, thereby enhancing national and international collaboration among mathematics educators.The Pacific island scholars and mathematics specialists will be introduced to the international mathematics education community at a reception to be held in conjunction with the opening of the conference. Following the delivery of the first plenary, which will be given by a Pacific islander, the Pacific scholars and mathematics specialists will present an overview of their islands' culture and the challenges faced in teaching mathematics in their island communities. During the conference a special panel discussion will give the participates the opportunity to obtain feedback from the international community of mathematics educators concerning these challenges. Daily "Theory to Practice" sessions will provide opportunities for the Pacific scholars to actively contribute and receive professional development throughout the conference. The Principal Investigators will attempt to establish a Pacific Network of Mathematics Educators as a result of the conference activities.

这笔赠款将用于资助太平洋岛屿学者参加2003年7月在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行的国际数学心理学小组(PME)及其北美分会(PMENA)联席会议。太平洋岛屿学者将从教育部和教育部挑选数学专家，并从夏威夷的学院和大学以及美属萨摩亚、马绍尔群岛共和国、密克罗尼西亚联邦、关岛、北马里亚纳群岛联邦和帕劳共和国等美国附属太平洋岛屿社区挑选数学讲师。国家科学基金会的支持将使太平洋岛屿学者能够第一次与PME社区接触，从而加强数学教育工作者之间的国家和国际合作。太平洋岛屿学者和数学专家将在与会议开幕同时举行的招待会上向国际数学教育界介绍。第一次全体会议将由一名太平洋岛民主持，会议结束后，太平洋地区的学者和数学专家将概述其岛屿的文化以及在其岛屿社区教授数学所面临的挑战。在会议期间，一次特别的小组讨论将使与会者有机会获得国际数学教育界对这些挑战的反馈。每天的“从理论到实践”的会议将为太平洋学者提供机会，让他们在整个会议期间积极贡献和接受专业发展。作为会议活动的结果，首席调查员将尝试建立一个太平洋数学教育工作者网络。
