Recent decades have seen increasing attention to and progress in research in undergraduate mathematics education (RUME). Relative to K-12 mathematics education research, which is more than a century old as a field, RUME is a young area, beginning to become visible only a few decades ago. During these decades, the need to understand the learning and teaching of undergraduate mathematics, and the related need to develop scholars to conduct the research, has become more pressing. In this project, investigators from the University of Oklahoma and the University of Northern Colorado will catalyze a network of RUME scholars through a conference that emphasizes the generation and strengthening of new collaborations and the central participation of novices.The next generation of experts and leaders in RUME will come from the current generation of graduate students, early-career RUME faculty, and mathematicians seeking to gain experience and expertise in this field. The conference will specifically, and with active intention, engage these participants to strengthen their expertise and build collaborations. Themes will include research in student learning, research in pre/business/STEM calculus, research in problem-solving/proving, research in equity in mathematics education, and research in statistics education and quantitative literacy. The conference will produce a list of priority open research questions in RUME as well as a network of expert and novice researchers collaborating to advance the field.

近几十年来，本科数学教育(RUME)的研究受到越来越多的关注和进展。相对于作为一个领域已有一个多世纪历史的K-12数学教育研究而言，RUME是一个年轻的领域，直到几十年前才开始显露出来。在这几十年里，了解本科生数学学习和教学的需要，以及与之相关的培养学者进行研究的需要变得更加迫切。在这个项目中，来自俄克拉荷马大学和北科罗拉多大学的研究人员将通过一次会议催化一个RUM学者网络，该会议强调新合作的产生和加强以及新手的集中参与。RUME的下一代专家和领导者将来自当代研究生、职业生涯早期的RUM教师和寻求在该领域获得经验和专业知识的数学家。会议将以积极的态度，具体地与这些与会者接触，以加强他们的专业知识和建立合作。主题包括学生学习研究、预科/商科/STEM微积分研究、问题解决/证明研究、数学教育公平研究，以及统计教育和量化素养研究。会议将产生RUME中优先开放研究问题的清单，以及一个专家和新手研究人员合作推动该领域发展的网络。
