THE 9TH 2025 EARCOME 9 ICMI-EAST ASIA REGIONAL CONFERENCE ON MATHEMATICS EDUCATION IN KOREA
A Working Group (WG) is designed to foster in-depth discussion, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas among researchers within the mathematics education community. Unlike other formats that focus primarily on the presentation of individual research findings, WG encourages collective engagement with a common research topic. The goal of these sessions is to generate new insights, start joint research activities, and build lasting collaborations that can extend beyond the conference itself. WG session can address both emerging and well-established research topics within mathematics education. However, the focus is on topics where the research is evolving, and there is potential for new contributions. The session should include a clear goal, supported by a structured strategy to engage participants in meaningful collaboration. Opportunities for participant contributions are central to the success of WG, allowing for shared materials, collaborative work on texts, or focused discussions on well-defined questions.
Poster Presentation (PP)
Poster Presentation is designed to facilitate the exchange of ideas among participants. This format provides an interactive dynamic where attendees can engage directly with presenters by asking questions and discussing the work in a more informal setting. Poster Presentation is an excellent opportunity for both presenters and attendees to network, gain feedback, and inspire new collaborations. Accepted presenters will 90 minutes for presenting and discussing their research.
Working Groups (WG)
Special Sharing Groups (SSG)
We are excited to introduce the Special Sharing Group (SSG) as a distinctive feature of the upcoming EARCOME 9 conference. The SSG provides a dynamic and collaborative platform designed to bridge the gap between research and practice in mathematics education. These sessions will foster meaningful discussion and exchange among educators, researchers, and practitioners, focusing on innovative practices, critical insights, and the latest developments in the field.
Topic Study Groups
A Topic Study Group (TSG) is designed to bring together participants who share an interest in a particular topic related to mathematics education. Participants whose papers are accepted for TSGs will have 10-15 minutes for their oral presentations, although the presentation time may vary depending on the number of papers. Each TSG will be facilitated and organized by the following invited chairs.
