RUME with a View: Cultivating New Researchers on the Frontier of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education

近几十年来，人们对本科数学教育的关注和研究取得了越来越多的进展。K-12数学教育研究作为一个领域已经有一个多世纪的历史了，相对而言，RUME是一个年轻的领域，几十年前才开始出现。近几十年来，了解本科数学的学与教的需要，以及培养相关学者进行研究的需要，变得更加迫切。在这个项目中，来自俄克拉何马大学和北科罗拉多大学的研究人员将通过一个强调新合作的产生和加强以及新手的核心参与的会议来促进RUME学者的网络。RUME的下一代专家和领导者将来自当前一代的研究生，早期职业的RUME教师以及寻求在该领域获得经验和专业知识的数学家。会议将特别积极地邀请这些参与者加强他们的专业知识并建立合作。主题将包括学生学习的研究，pre/business/STEM微积分的研究，解决问题/证明的研究，数学教育中的公平研究，以及统计教育和定量素养的研究。会议将产生一份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进该领域的网络。

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.
