                   ICTMT - 3

   The Third International Conference on
   Technology in Mathematics Teaching

               September 29th - October 2nd, 1997
                    University of Koblenz
                          Germany

This conference is about the role of technology in mathematics education
at school, college and university. It seeks to continue at a European venue
the tradition established by the
International Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics (ICTCM),
founded by Professors Bert Waits
and Franklin Demana of the Ohio State University, and held annually in the
United States of America since
1988. That tradition has been widely influential in the effective use of
technology in mathematics teaching.
ICTMT-3 continues as the third European conference (the first in
Birmingham, England, 1993 and the second in
Edinburgh, Scotland, 1995).

             1st ANNOUNCEMENT - ICTMT - 3 Koblenz


The third European International Conference on Technology in Mathematics
Teaching will bring together
classroom practitioners, curriculum developers, mathematical education
researchers and university lecturers, all
of whom share a desire to improve the quality of student learning. Keynote
lectures and invited lectures by
distinguished speakers will be complemented by a programme of specialist
short talks and workshops. We hope
there will be an exhibition of books and products by publishers, software
and calculator companies. The
conference will take place at the campus of the University in Koblenz,
situated on the Rhine peninsula of
Koblenz-Oberwerth, one mile from the main railway station of Koblenz.

The Koblenz University is part of the University Koblenz-Landau, a
university of Rhineland-Palatinate with
nearly eight thousand students, half of whom study in the four faculties of
educational sciences, of letters, of
natural sciences and of computer sciences in Koblenz. Training many teacher
students on the one hand and many
computer science students on the other at the university, one endeavours to
connect education with the use of
computers.

Koblenz is a two thousand years old city, situated in the centre of the
famous Rhine valley, where the Mosel
joins the Rhine. It provides access to many sites in and outside the town,
like the old city with famous buildings
and churches, the "Deutsches Eck", the Loreley at St. Goarshausen, many old
castles of the Rhine valley, the
monastery of Maria Laach, the Lahn valley with Bad Ems and Limburg.
Thirtyfive miles north of Koblenz lies
the city of Bonn, sixty miles north K=F6ln (Cologne), sixty miles south Main=
z
and hundred miles south-west
Luxembourg.
The International Airports of Frankfurt, of Cologne/Bonn and of Duesseldorf
are all convenient for Koblenz.
There are rapid train connections from these airports to Koblenz. Inter
City Trains run through Koblenz from the
south of Germany (Munich, Stuttgart, Freiburg (Black Forrest)) to the north
(Hamburg) and as well to the east
(Berlin). A wide range of good quality accomodation is available in Koblenz.

The conference languages will be English and German.

The conference fee will be DM 200 (payment before 01.07.1997, DM 220
payment later) and will include the
cost of lunches, coffees, teas, the Tuesday afternoon excursion and the
proceedings published on a CD-ROM.

             2nd ANNOUNCEMENT- ICTMT - 3 Koblenz

Conference Themes

    1.Impact of Technology on Teaching and Learning
       With the increasing use of technology within mathematics
       and statistics and their teaching
       - what changes are implied for the curriculum?
       - what new skills are needed by students and teachers?
       - how can students and teachers be motivated and
         encouraged?
    2.Access to Education through Technology
       Technology can help meet the needs of people returning to
       education by providing flexible timetabled, selfpaced,
       individualized learning materials. In developing
       economies, it may also provide a vital supplement to
       scarce teaching resources.
    3.Technology and Assessment
       The introduction of computer based assessment for
       diagnostic testing, monitoring and grading demands a
       careful appraisal of its validity and reliability. Its
       role in formative and summative assessment of
       mathematical skills and understanding and the
       implementation of schemes of assessment will be
       discussed.
    4.Ways Forward - Future Trends
       The issues arising from the conflicting interests of
       learners, teachers und technologists will be debated
       in the context of ever more powerful technology and of
       the needs of the next generation. The nature and
       future role of mathematics in education will be examined.

X-Comment:  Educacao em Matematica

<fontfamily><param>Times</param><bigger><bigger>Este documento apareceu
numa lista internacional de educacao e matematica. Talvez seja de
interesse para alguns dos membros desta lista.

1. Publicacoes divulgando investigacoes de estudantes

</bigger>

<bigger>E esperado do supervisor (A) de um estudante de investigacao
(B) que de a B orientacao e assistencia na conceptualizacao, execucao,
analise, interpretacao e publicacao da investigacao de B. Todavia, a
responsabilidade ultima pela investigacao realizada e divulgada e de B
e nao de A. Isto aplica-se mesmo quando a investigacao de B esta
inserida dentro de um projecto de investigacao mais vasto concebido por
A e executado sob a sua orientacao. Assim, a contribuicao de A para a
investigacao de B e inerente ao processo de supervisao, nao
constituindo em si colaboracao na investigacao. O mesmo acontece com
terceiros que possam prestar assistencia ocasional, como por exemplo na
analise de dados.

</bigger>

<bigger>Assim sendo, em artigos divulgando investigacao de B tal como
foi orientada por A, a decisao quanto a autoria deve ser tomada tendo
como base as contribuicoes de A e B para o artigo especifico e nao as
suas contribuicoes para a investigacao como um todo. Devem ser tidas em
consideracao as seguintes linhas de orientacao:

</bigger>

<bigger>1.1.    Nos casos em que B faz o esboco do artigo (possivelmente
apos discussao com A) e seguidamente faz uma revisao do artigo para
publicacao ou apresentacao (possivelmente apos A ter feito comentarios
especificos sobre rascunhos anteriores), o nome de B aparecera como
autor unico do artigo.

</bigger>

<bigger>1.2.    O nome de A podera aparecer como co-autor apenas se a
contribuicao de A para o artigo exceder aquilo que esta descrito em
1.1. Por exemplo, A e B podem planear e esbocar o artigo em
colaboracao; ou A pode escrever o artigo depois de A e B o terem
planeado em conjunto; ou A podera voltar a reescrever o primeiro esboco
de B. Nestes casos, o nome de A podera aparecer como segundo autor.

</bigger>

<bigger>1.3.    O nome de A pode aparecer como primeiro autor apenas no
caso de A ter iniciado o artigo, feito o seu esboco (possivelmente apos
discussao com B) e feito a sua revisao (possivelmente apos B ter feito
comentarios especificos sobre rascunhos anteriores). Tal procedimento
deve ser seguido apenas em circunstancias excepcionais (por exemplo,
quando A esta a reportar-se a um projecto alargado do qual a
investigacao de B e uma parte) e em qualquer caso apenas com o acordo
explicito de B.

</bigger>

<bigger>1.4.    Uma pessoa C, nao supervisor de B, pode igualmente ser
nomeada como co-autor se C fizer uma contribuicao conforme descrita em
1.2 ou 1.3.

</bigger>

<bigger>1.5.    Em todos os casos, a existencia da relacao
estudante-supervisor sera dada a conhecer no artigo e sera indicada a
contribuicao relativa dos autores nomeados.

</bigger>

<bigger>1.6.    Em todos os casos, o registo dos autores e o fraseamento
dos agradecimentos sera sujeita a acordo explicito entre todas as
partes interessadas. O nome de B sera sempre registado como autor mas
todos os outras partes poderao decidir nao serem registados ou
mencionados nos agradecimentos mesmo que satisfacam as condicoes em
1.2, 1.3 ou 1.4.

</bigger>

<bigger>1.7.    Nenhum artigo sera apresentado ou publicado a nao ser que
todas as partes registadas como autores ou nomeadas nos agradecimentos
tenham tido a oportunidade de ler e comentar o esboco final.

</bigger>

<bigger>1.8.    As linhas de orientacao aqui apresentadas aplicam-se quer
o artigo tenha sido escrito enquanto B e ainda um estudante a trabalhar
sob A, quer apos a relacao estudante-supervisor ter terminado. A
investigacao realizada fora da relacao estudante-supervisor deve ser
sujeita as linhas de orientacao referentes a investigacao universitaria
e que sao indicadas em baixo.</bigger>


<bigger>2. Investigacao colaborativa


A investigacao colaborativa entre colegas profissionais deve ser
encorajada. No entanto, a divulgacao desta investigacao requer a
analise cuidadosa da necessidade de dar a conhecer a contribuicao
relativa de cada participante adequadamente.

</bigger>

<bigger>2.1.    Apenas poderao ser nomeadas entre os autores as pessoas
que tenham contribuido substancialmente para a conceptualizacao,
execucao, analise, interpretacao ou divulgacao da investigacao descrita
no artigo, cujo fim e a sua apresentacao em conferencia ou publicacao
numa revista.

</bigger>

<bigger>2.2.    Qualquer pessoa que tenha contribuido substancialmente
para a conceptualizacao, execucao, analise, interpretacao ou divulgacao
da investigacao tera direito a ser registada entre os autores, mas
tambem o direito de se recusar a ser nomeada.

</bigger>

<bigger>2.3.    Qualquer pessoa que tenha feito uma pequena contribuicao
academica para a investigacao tera direito a um agradecimento no
artigo, mas tambem tera o direito de recusar a sua nomeacao.

</bigger>

<bigger>2.4.    Em geral, uma "contribuicao substancial" deve ser
entendida como algo envolvendo um <italic>input</italic> academico
criativo durante um certo periodo de tempo. Inclui recolha de dados,
onde a pessoa tem a responsabilidade individual de realizar entrevistas
de acordo com um protocolo geral, e analise de dados, onde a pessoa
participa na elaboracao dos procedimentos a utilizar. Actividades tais
como uma recolha bibliografica, a elaboracao de equipamento especial de
recolha de dados ou o fornecimento de conselhos sobre a aplicacao de
determinado metodo de analise estatistica, devem normalmente ser tidas
como pequenas contribuicoes. Operacoes rotineiras tais como dar entrada
a dados, realizar uma analise estatistica especifica, desenhar
diagramas ou editar texto, nao devem ser consideradas como sendo
contribuicoes academicas para a investigacao.

</bigger>

<bigger>2.5.    A decisao quanto a contribuicao "substancial" ou
"pequena" de cada pessoa, a ordem de listagem dos autores e o
fraseamento dos agradecimentos serao todos pontos de acordo explicito
entre as partes interessados.

</bigger>

<bigger>2.6.    Nenhum artigo sera apresentado ou publicado a nao ser que
todas as partes registadas como autores ou nomeadas nos agradecimentos
tenham tido a oportunidade de ler e comentar o esboco final.</bigger>

Dear PME members,

I am co-ordinating a Plenary Symposium at the next PME conference.  The
theme of the conference (to be held in  Finland, July 14-19th), is
Technology, mathematics education and change.

There will be a panel consisting of myself, Janet Ainley, Nicolas Balacheff
and Jim Kaput.  We will be discussing questions about the implications of
new technologies for mathematics and mathematics learning and teaching.

As a preliminary to the plenary session we are constructing a website at:

http://walkerr.edfac.usyd.edu.au/PMEforum/forum.html

We are keen to discuss issues in depth prior to the conference.  Your
contribution to the discussion would be greatly appreciated,  (as you will
see, the website gives you the opportunity to reply to issues raised).
Also, if you know of colleagues who did not attend the last PME conference,
but who may be interested in this subject, please forward the URL to them.

Yours sincerely,

Kathryn Crawford

ACCOMODATIONS

All conference activities will take place at the Comfort Inn University
Park Conference Center.  A special room rate which includes continental
breakfast has been negotiated for the conference.  Each participant must
make their housing arrangements directly with the Comfort Inn by calling
(517) 772-4000.  Be sure to identify yourself as attending the Research
Conference in Collegiate Mathematics Education to receive the special room
rate.



TRANSPORTATION

Conference delegates arriving by air should attempt to use the Midland,
Michigan (MBS) airport (approximately one hour from Mt. Pleasant by the
conference
shuttle).  As a second choice, the Lansing airport (approximately
seventy-five minutes by the conference shuttle) could be used.  Please let
us know which airport you will use and what time you will arrive (and
depart) so that we can arrange for the
transportation.  All transportation between either airport and Mt. Pleasant
must be arranged in advance, as the conference shuttle is the only
transportation available other than rental cars.  We anticipate being able
to provide transportation from both airports between approximately 10:00 am
and 6:00 pm on Thursday.  We anticipate being able to provide
transportation departures from the conference center beginning at noon
Sunday.

We look forward to seeing you in Mt. Pleasant.
