Annoucement and Call for Papers:
The Adults Learning Mathematics (ALM-7)
Conference
ALM7
July 6-8, 2000
Tufts University
Boston/Medford, Massachusetts, USA
The theme of this year's conference is:
"A Conversation Between Researchers and Practitioners"
Adults Learning Mathematics (ALM) is an
international research forum which brings together
researchers and practitioners in adult
mathematics/numeracy teaching and learning in order to
promote the learning of mathematics of adults.
The 7th annual conference will be hosted by
the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning
and Literacy (NCSALL)at Harvard University in
conjunction with the Tufts University Department of
Education and the NCTM-affiliated Adult Numeracy Network.
ALM7 Call for Papers
(Submission Deadline: March 15, 2000)
The range of perspectives: The meetings are
expected to cover a wide range of perspectives
around issues about adults knowing and learning
mathematics. Some will be more practice-driven,
concentrating on instruction and curriculum, while
others will focus on theory. The conference will
provide the opportunity for beginning and experienced
researchers to inform each other of projects; for
adult education mathematics teachers to share practice;
and most importantly, for the two communities to
benefit from new understandings.
Participants will come from many different countries.
Plenary speakers will include: King Beach (US), Roseanne Benn (UK),
Marilyn Frankenstein (US), Gelsa Knijnik (Brazil), and Pamela Meader
(US).
