Overview
Discussion Groups gather Congress delegates who are interested in discussing challenging, controversial, or emerging issues and dilemmas of interest with an international or regional audience in a genuinely interactive way.
Discussion Groups help foster international collaboration and sharing on topics that are of importance and relevance to Congress participants from different countries.
During 2023 Congress delegates proposed Discussion Groups. The IPC has selected 30 of these to be included in the Scientific Program of ICME-15.
The Coordinators of each Discussion Group are scholars from at least three different countries in at least two different regions of the world. This ensures that Discussion Groups promote discussion and sharing between mathematics educators from different countries. The Coordinators will organise and facilitate the discussions in the two 90-minute sessions on the topic during ICME-15.
Role of Discussion Group Coordinators
Coordinators will plan the sessions and prepare information about the Discussion Group for inclusion in the ICME-15 Program.
During the Congress, the Coordinators will facilitate the work of the Discussion Group. Following the Congress the Coordinators will provide a short report of the sessions held, the outcome/s, and any recommendations that emerged.
Discussion Group Publications
Discussion Groups reports may be included in the formal Post-Congress Proceedings of ICME-15.
Coordinators of Discussion Groups are also encouraged to work towards producing other publication(s) based on the groups work and findings. Whilst advice will be available on publication opportunities, the Discussion Group Coordinators will be fully responsible for any such publication.
