Conferences and Meetings on Didactics of Scientific Disciplines

Over the past few years it has become apparent the importance in finding the correct balance between inquiry-based problem solving and practicing basic facts in the mathematics classroom. The purpose of a SNAP math fair is to provide a meaningful problem-solving experience for all students. This would be the eighteenth annual Ted Lewis Math Fair Workshop at BIRS. The workshop is extremely popular with teachers in elementary and secondary schools, provides them with resources for lesson plans, and it is helping to reshape the way mathematics is being approached in the schools. Problem solving and puzzles in the classroom is now a specific area of the K-9 curriculum and in-service teachers have had very little training in using these tools effectively. This is not limited to Alberta schools, and the SNAP math fair idea is now spreading around the world. This type of 2-day workshop is considered front line approach in the collaborative effort between mathematicians, more experienced teachers, and all teachers interested in professional development to improve the mathematics teaching in the elementary level and beyond. To have teachers share their valuable experiences with math fair in their own schools is the best and most useful information to others. Teachers in Alberta and participants from outside view the Ted Lewis Workshop as one of PIMS and BIRS most valuable education initiatives.

Association for Institutional Research – AIR

The Association's annual conference, the AIR Forum, is the world’s largest gathering of higher education professionals working in institutional research, effectiveness, assessment, planning, and related postsecondary education fields. This four-day conference includes more than 300 presentations by colleagues representing all sectors of higher education and an Exhibit Hall featuring the latest tools and resources to support data use for decision making.

The annual ACM ITiCSE conference is one of the computing education conferences sponsored by ACM Special Interest Group on Computing Education (SIGCSE).

The main purpose of the conference is to stimulate the exchange of new ideas in algebra, topology and geometry, and to celebrate 50 years of the Jan Kochanowski University. On the occasion of the jubilee, we plan to remind the brightest moments of mathematical research and education in Kielce. The conference will be divided int two parts - the anniversary and the scientific. The first one gives the opportunity to meet many of the former and the current elmployees of our Institute. The second, provides the space for scientific discussions at four thematic sessions, that is Topology, Analysis, Geometry and Didactics. We warmly invite all mathematicans to share our joy and scientific enthusiasm in theese special days.

Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia (HERDSA)

HERDSA is a scholarly society for people committed to the advancement of higher education and promotes the development of higher education policy, practice and the study of teaching and learning. This year we have decided to focus more broadly on what the name of the Society does – Research and Development in Higher Education.

We hope that the international mathematical education community will enthusiastically receive the invitation of our Chinese colleagues for 2020, so to make ICME-14 a huge international event that will advance studies, interest and support for mathematics education all over the world.The congress – to be held under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) – will take place from July 12-July 19th 2020.

2020 Special Focus: Intercultural Learning in Plurilingual Contexts

The conference will be held on the beautiful campus of Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR in the Summer of 2020. The 26th BCCE, like all of its predecessors, is designed to provide you with opportunities for interacting with chemistry instructors of all levels in formal and informal settings. There will be a mixture of plenary lectures, symposia, workshops, chemical demonstrations, poster sessions, exhibits and tours of chemistry research areas.

The Canadian Math Kangaroo Contest (CMKC) aims to dispel the myth that mathematics is inaccessible and difficult by using an all-inclusive and open mathematics competition to create a positive environment that emphasizes the practical and fun nature of mathematics. Since joining the International Association “Kangaroo without Borders” in 2006, the CMKC has formed hosting partnerships with multiple universities and prestigious organizations across the country. Since its inception, the CMKC has found many ways to expand the reach and scope of its unique program, and to build new, complementary programs based upon the competition. Over the past 14 years, the CMKC has grown significantly from its humble beginnings with approximately 300 participants at 3 locations to just over 6900 students nationwide in the 2019 competition in more than 50 locations in 9 provinces across Canada. The purpose of the workshop is to chart the future course for Math Kangaroo in Canada.

Geometry is all around us. The circles and triangles of the Ancient Greeks have never left us. Film, art, and architecture ha ve all been touched by mathematics and geometry. 3D printing, robotics, and origami are a new wave of geometry. At Geometry: Education, Art, and Research, leading researchers pair up with educations and artists to push the boundaries of contemporary geometry.

The Frontiers in Education (FIE) Conference is a major international conference focusing on educational innovations and research in engineering and computing education and this year we are celebrating the 50th anniversary. We welcome submissions related to educational issues and innovations in computing and engineering at the graduate, undergraduate and pre-college levels.

Les équipements de simulation en santé ou de réalité augmentée pour accompagner l’activité humaine, les jumeaux numériques d’installations industrielles, les fablabs et les laboratoires de prototypage, les salles équipées pour l’utilisation de la réalité virtuelle... constituent de nouveaux environnements d’apprentissage dans l'enseignement supérieur ou dans l'entreprise. Comprendre ou construire les situations d’apprentissage instrumentées qui mettent en œuvre de tels environnements soulève de nombreuses questions, auxquelles des travaux de recherche ou des expérimentations commencent à apporter des éléments de réponse. Le colloque ‘‘Comprendre et construire les nouvelles situations d’apprentissage instrumentées’’ doit permettre de les réunir et produire un état de l'art et des avancées dans ce domaine, en matière de recherches comme d'ingénierie.

The Global Conference on Education is an international refereed conference dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practices in education. The Global Conference on Education promotes collaborative excellence between academicians and professionals from Education.

Nationa University of Rio Negro

The primary goal of this Symposium is to give perhaps for the first time a global vision of Education and Heritage in the frame of the goals of the IAU, taking into account the Plan 2020-2030 and to propose an eventual ‘next steps’ road map and a global astronomy education agenda for the next decade, while honouring the education from the past.

In this sense, we would foster inclusiveness in the advancement of astronomy and facilitate the advancement of the next generation of astronomers and scientists, through encouragement of the use of new methods of learning and best practices (including distance education: Moocs) in pedagogy at university level, as well as the use of astronomy for teaching and education at school level, which are part of the definitions of the proposed Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE), which also pursuits the establishment of a Network of Astronomy Education Contacts (NAECs) to provide accessible materials and astronomy literacy guidelines globally. The invited speakers are international leaders in discipline-based education in astronomy and the planetary science, but also in communication, history, inclusion and protection of world’s heritage, including the dark sky.

As with most other sciences, astronomy is being fundamentally transformed by the Information and Computation Technology (ICT) revolution. The data volume is growing exponentially, can be accessed remotely and the observations can be performed even without a real knowledge of a telescope. The new approaches to the data permits the development of new tools, techniques and resources for data analysis and produce discoveries which probably never would be reached with traditional astronomy data analysis period.
