Fourteenth International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME14) Travel Grant

该项目将支持53名美国K-12数学教师、研究生、社区学院/大学数学家、数学教师教育者和数学教育研究人员参加将于2020年7月9日至16日在中国上海举行的第十四届国际数学教育大会（ICME-14）。虽然美国的数学教育有自己的文化和期望，但世界各地数学教育者的工作和对话可能有助于我们理解当今社会面临的问题，如课程开发、技术使用、接触所有学生的策略、教师教育和专业发展。我们作为一个国家对我们自己的数学教育的问题，可能会从与面临类似问题的其他国家的国际对话中得到启发。新罕布什尔大学的Sharon McCrone领导的一个研究小组将在之前ICMEs报告的基础上编写2020年美国数学教育概况书。这笔旅行资助将增加参加国际大会的美国数学教育界的数量和多样性，这将使来自美国的更广泛的代表从与世界领先的数学教育家的互动中受益。该项目由探索研究preK-12项目（DRK-12）支持，该项目旨在通过研究和开发创新资源、模型和工具，显著提高preK-12学生和教师对科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）的学习和教学。DRK-12计划中的项目建立在STEM教育的基础研究和先前的研究和开发工作的基础上，为拟议的项目提供了理论和实证依据。通过仔细的筛选过程，该领域的专家将确定最有可能从参加ICME-14中受益的旅行接受者，并有能力传播他们的经验见解。促进美国教育工作者和研究人员对国际问题和实践的理解，可以提高他们在工作中采取知情的全球视角的能力，这反过来又可能有利于他们的当地社区。数字媒体将使世界各地的教育工作者和教室能够建立和保持联系，使ICME-14的受助人能够保持在会议上建立的联系，并对美国的大量在校儿童和教师（包括在职和在职）产生影响。在ICME-14上，这些教育工作者将从各种各样的角度学习关于数学教育研究和实践的“最新技术”，并将能够讨论数学教学中的共同挑战。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project will support the participation of 53 US K-12 mathematics teachers, graduate students, community college/university mathematicians, mathematics teacher educators, and mathematics education researchers to attend the Fourteenth International Congress for Mathematical Education (ICME-14) to be held in Shanghai, China July 9-16, 2020. While mathematics education in the United States has its own culture and expectations, the work and conversations of mathematics educators across the world might contribute to our understanding of issues facing our community today such as curriculum development, the use of technology, strategies for reaching all students, teacher education and professional development. The questions we have as a nation about our own mathematics education might be informed and enlightened by international conversations with others confronting similar issues. A research team led by Sharon McCrone, University of New Hampshire, will prepare a 2020 Fact Book on US mathematics education, building on reports for prior ICMEs. The travel grant will increase the number and diversity of the US mathematics education community attending the international congress, which will enable a broader representation from the US to benefit from interaction with the world's leading mathematics educators. This project is supported by the Discovery Research preK-12 program (DRK-12), which seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools. Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects. Through a careful selection process, experts in the field will identify travel recipients most likely to benefit from attending ICME-14 and well-positioned to disseminate insights from their experience. Fostering understanding of international issues and practices among educators and researchers in the US may enhance their capacity to take an informed, global perspective in their work, which, in turn, may benefit their local communities. Digital media will allow educators and classrooms to make and maintain contact across the world, enabling ICME-14 grantees to maintain connections initiated at the meeting and have an impact on large numbers of school children and teachers, both preservice and practicing, in the US. At ICME-14 these educators will engage in learning about the "state of the art" with respect to research and practice in mathematics education from a wide variety of perspectives and will be able to discuss common challenges in teaching and learning mathematics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
