Conference: Future Directions for Mathematics Education Research, Policy, and Practice

该项目旨在通过召集各级数学教育领导人和其他关键合作伙伴（行业，技术，政策）参加为期多日的研讨会，分享关于加速数学教育进步的想法，观点和专业知识，为国家利益服务。这一进展将集中在四个领域，包括K-12教师准备;本科数学教学和学习，重点是前两年; K-12途径，以一系列依赖数学学习的职业;系统的以公平为重点的战略，以增加数学科学的多样性。研讨会的成果旨在为这些重点领域的研究，政策和实践提供未来方向，利用新的工具，技术，战略和伙伴关系来推动数学教育的创新，可行和公平的进步。以公平的方式取得的这些进步，对于促进美国繁荣、全球竞争力和国家安全所需的STEM创新至关重要。 讲习班的内容和活动将旨在实现四个重点领域中每一个领域的两个目标。第一个目标是确定当前和新出现的挑战和机遇，以改善数学教育。第二个目标是提供一套建议，未来的研究方向，政策和实践有关的数学教育。研讨会活动将支持合作方法来设计解决方案，为数学教育各个方面的杰出领导者提供一个机会，以不同的方式思考他们所面临的挑战，并看到新的进步机会。这旨在促进新的学习和创新方法，以便在各级数学教育中采取更公平的做法。它还旨在让参与者建立伙伴关系和合作，使他们拥有领导研究，开发和创新所需的知识，观点和资源，以新的方式应对持续存在的和新出现的挑战。NSF IUSE：EDU计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生的STEM教育的有效性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力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 aims to serve the national interest by convening leaders across all levels of mathematics education and other key partners (industry, technology, policy) in a multi-day workshop to share ideas, perspectives, and expertise on accelerating progress in mathematics education. This progress will focus on four areas, including K-12 teacher preparation; undergraduate mathematics teaching and learning, with a focus on the first two years; K-12 pathways to a range of careers that rely on mathematical learning; systemic equity-focused strategies for increasing diversity in the mathematical sciences. Workshop outcomes intend to inform future directions in research, policy, and practice across these focus areas in ways that leverage new tools, technology, strategies, and partnerships to drive innovative, feasible, and equitable advancements in mathematics education. Such advancements, achieved in an equitable way, are essential to the STEM innovation needed to enhance US prosperity, global competitiveness, and national security. The workshop content and activities will be designed to achieve two goals across each of the four focus areas. The first goal is to identify current and emerging challenges and opportunities for improving mathematics education. The second goal is to provide a set of recommendations regarding future directions for research, policy, and practice related to mathematics education. Workshop activities will support collaborative approaches to designing solutions that provide prominent leaders in all aspects of mathematics education a chance to think differently about the challenges they face and see new opportunities for progress. This aspires to foster new learning and innovative approaches to more equitable practices in mathematics education across all levels. It also aims to allow participants to build partnerships and collaborations that will equip them with the knowledge, perspectives, and resources needed to lead research, development, and innovation that addresses persistent and emerging challenges in new ways. The NSF IUSE: EDU Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students.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.
