PME29 Melbourne 10-15 July 2005 Learners and Learning Environments

Description

The objective of a Discussion Group is to provide the opportunity for people to work constructively together. They may begin with short synopses of research work, or a set of pressing questions, or provocative prompts (such as a short video clip), which aim to elicit engagement on the part of all the participants. The main purpose is critical discussion. A Discussion Group must have a co-ordinator and an assistant co-ordinator both of whom must be active members of PME. Proposals for a Discussion Group must be in the hands of the Conference Secretariat (page 6) not later than 1 March, 2005. In order for a proposal to be considered, the group co-ordinators must pay the Conference Deposit not later than the submission date. It is strongly recommended to use the forms on the PME29 website or directly on http://igpme.org/forms/WS_DG_proposal.html . Notification of receipt and acceptance of the proposal will be e-mailed in April 2005. Please, contact the Conference Secretariat if you have not received this notification by the end of April. Accepted proposals for a Discussion Group will be included in the Conference Program and the Proceedings, provided payment of the full Registration fee by the presenting author(s) has been received not later than 31 May, 2005.
