MSU at 2020 RUME Conference
Members of the MSU Mathematics Education community will be presenting at the annual Conference on Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education (RUME) in Boston, Massachusetts this week.
The conference will be held February 27-29 at the Revere Hotel Boston Common.
The conference is organized around the following themes: results of current research, contemporary theoretical perspectives and research paradigms, and innovative methodologies and analytic approaches as they pertain to the study of undergraduate mathematics education. The program will include plenary addresses, contributed paper reports, preliminary reports, and poster sessions.
Mathematics education faculty and graduate students presenting this year include Sarah Castle, Bob Elmore, Jihye Hwang, Shiv Smith Karunakaran, Valentin Kuechle, and John (Jack) Smith.
Bob Elmore commented, “This is my first time attending the RUME conference. I am excited to go and help present and I am also excited to see all of the other research project presentations.”
Shiv Smith Karunakaran is serving on the RUME Executive Committee as the Organizational Director for 2019-2020. If you are interested in serving on future Program Committees, please contact Shiv.
SIGMAA on RUME was formed in 2001 for the purpose of encouraging quality research in undergraduate mathematics education (RUME) and its application in teaching practices. SIGMAA on RUME provides organizational support for researchers conducting RUME and to those interested in using the results of RUME. It also provides organizational support for the dissemination of the results of this research.
