| Mathematics Education Design with the Shell Centre |
20-10-2009 |
|
The MARS/Shell Centre team in Nottingham, UK is building capacity to meet expanded commitments in innovative research-based design and development projects in the UK, Europe and the US. Now led by Professor Malcolm Swan, the team is seeking people who are keen to contribute to design research that will have direct impact on improving educational practice.
These posts will provide an opportunity for outstanding people with a record of creative work in mathematics classrooms to join a team with a world-class reputation, combining creative design with rigorous research. Based in Nottingham, the projects will offer opportunities to work with schools, academic institutions and design teams in the US and Europe.
Those who may be interested should email Malcolm.Swan@nottingham.ac.uk, attaching a summary of their experience and ambitions in mathematics education design.
Background: Founded in 1968, the Shell Centre for Mathematical Education at the University of Nottingham has pioneered the development of design research and engineering research in education, exploring how research insights may be turned into products that teachers and others can use to improve the quality of student learning. The resources that have been produced are used around the world.
The team plays central role in ISDDE, the International Society for Design and Development in Education (www.isdde.org), as part of its strategic aim to raise standards in educational design by building rich environments and career paths for professional educational designers.

| THE ICMI AWARDS COMMITTEE Announcement: Call for Nominations |
28-06-2009 |
|
As is probably well known to most mathematics educators around the world, the Executive Committee
of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) a number of years ago created two awards, each in
the form of a diploma and a medal, to recognise outstanding accomplishments in mathematics education research:
- the Hans Freudenthal Award, for a major programme of research on mathematics education,
- the Felix Klein Award, for lifelong achievement in mathematics education research.
An ICMI Awards Committee has been appointed for selecting the awardees. The President of ICMI has appointed
Professor Mogens Niss to chair this committee, the other members of which are anonymous until their terms have
come to an end.
The first recipients of these two awards, Professor Guy Brousseau (France) for the Felix Klein Award and Professor
Celia Hoyles (UK) for the Hans Freudenthal Award, formally received these at the opening ceremonies of ICME-10 in Copenhagen,
in July 2004. The two 2005 awards went to Professors Ubiratan D'Ambrosio (Brazil) (the Klein Award) and Paul Cobb (USA)
(the Freudenthal Award), and for 2007, Professors Jeremy Kilpatrick (USA) and Anna Sfard (Israel/UK/USA) received the Klein
and the Freudenthal Awards, respectively. The awards for 2005 and 2007 were formally presented to the recipients at the
opening ceremony of ICME-11 in Monterrey, Mexico, in July 2008.
The ICMI Awards Committee is now entering a fourth cycle of selecting awardees for 2009.
The result of this process will be known by the end of 2009. The 2009 Awards will be presented to the recipients
at ICME-12 in Seoul, Korea in 2012. As was the case with the previous cycles, the ICMI Awards Committee welcomes
suggestions coming from the mathematics education community, hence this call for nominations.
A nomination of a candidate for the Felix Klein or the Hans Freudenthal Award has to be accompanied by a summary
presenting the vita and the achievements of person nominated, as well as the reasons for the nomination. Moreover,
nominations also have to include the names and coordinates of two or three persons from whom the committee may seek
further information.
All proposals must be sent by e-mail (mn@ruc.dk) to the Chair of the Committee no later than 15 September 2009.
