PME, International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education
The International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME), is a group of researchers, established in 1976 at the International Congress on Mathematics Education (ICME3) in Karlsruhe, Germany. PME welcomes all who are interested in how students learn mathematics, how teachers teach mathematics, and how mathematicians, teachers and students do mathematics.
PME-NA, Psychology of Mathematics Education-North American Chapter
The major goals of PME-NA are (1) To promote international contacts and the exchange of scientific information in the psychology of mathematics education; (2) To promote and stimulate interdisciplinary research in the aforesaid area, with the cooperation of psychologists, mathematicians and mathematics teachers; and (3) To further a deeper and better understanding of the psychological aspects of teaching and learning mathematics and the implications thereof.
SIGMAA on RUME, Special Interest Group of the MAA on Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education
SIGMAA on RUME (formerly known as the Association for Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education) sponsors an annual conference as well as sessions at the annual Joint Meetings of the Mathematical Association of America and the American Mathematical Society. The purpose of the group is to foster research on learning and teaching undergraduate mathematics and to provide a support network for those who participate in this area of research.
SRTL, International Collaboration for Research on Statistical Reasoning, Thinking, and Literacy
Over the past decades there has been an increasingly strong call for statistics education to focus more on statistical literacy, reasoning, and thinking. One of the main arguments presented is that traditional approaches to teaching statistics focus on skills, procedures, and computations, which do not lead students to reason or think statistically. The SRTL International Collaboration began in 1999 to foster current and innovative research studies that examine the nature and development of statistical literacy, reasoning, and thinking, and to explore the challenge posed to educators at all levels –– to develop these desired learning goals for students. The SRTL Forums are every two years and offer related publications in journals and books.
StatFest
StatFest is a free, one-day conference aimed at encouraging undergraduate students from historically underrepresented groups to consider careers and graduate studies in the statistical sciences. The program is designed to (1) expose participants to a broad range of graduate study and career opportunities in statistics and data science, (2) assist participants in networking and building relationships with others outside their institution, and (3) connect participants to future opportunities within statistics and data science. StatFest is typically held in the early fall (September or October).
USCOTS, United States Conference on Teaching Statistics
Every other summer, CAUSE organizes the U. S. Conference on Teaching Statistics, which brings together teachers of statistics and data science to exchange ideas about improving their teaching.
