Call for papers

Assessment is pervasive in the teaching and learning of mathematics at any educational level though often its impact on the students’ and teachers’ experiences is underestimated. With this ERME topic conference we wish to sharpen the focus on the ‘assessment of mathematics’ part of mathematics education research. We announce here the first topic conference on (summative and formative) assessment of mathematics and related feedback, its consequences on students’ learning and its impact on teachers’ practices.

Topics & Scope

While we understand that division into themes is at times artificial, we propose them to focus the contribution on these particular aspects. However, we will work to integrate these themes by also welcoming research papers that bridge two or three of the conference themes. We will support the ‘cross-theme’ work by scheduling thematical sessions during the conference to allow participants to become aware of others’ research and network accordingly. 

Peer-review

Peer reviewing will proceed as customary for CERME conferences: each paper will be peer-reviewed by two authors from among those who submit to the conference; so please expect to review up to two papers yourself. The IPC will review posters. The final decision about acceptance rests with the IPC.

Author guidelines

Authors are invited to send the poster proposal or full paper in English by 12 January, 2024. All posters/papers submitted will be reviewed by the Programme Committee and authors will be notified of the acceptance of the paper by e-mail by 11 March, 2024. Authors will be able to track the progress of their submission and will be invited to send the camera-ready papers by 5 April, 2024.
