52nd Annual Conference of the Research Council on Mathematics Learning
March 6-8, 2025

 

The 52nd Annual Conference of the Research Council on Mathematics Learning (RCML) will be held in College Station, Texas, at the Hilton College Station & Conference Center, March 6-8, 2025. The purpose of the RCML conference is to share current research in mathematics education. This year, we invite potential presenters to submit scholarship that reflects on the past and provides innovative directions for the future of mathematics learning across various disciplines. We encourage proposals of completed research studies and works-in-progress. (Download a PDF of the call for proposals.)

Conference Theme: Innovating and Integrating: Advancing Mathematics Learning Across Disciplines

Framing the future of mathematics education research involves exploring and envisioning its direction in the context of interdisciplinary collaboration. We invite contributions that connect mathematics learning across educational spaces, such as:
  1. Research focusing on integrating mathematics learning within online educational programs, innovative curriculum design, and instructional strategies in digital environments.

  2. Studies that explore new pedagogical approaches, curriculum development, and effective teaching strategies to enhance mathematics education.

  3. Investigations into how literacy skills can support mathematical understanding and vice versa, including the development of integrated curriculum and instructional practices.

  4. Research on the intersection of mathematics and science education, including STEM initiatives, interdisciplinary teaching approaches, and the role of mathematics in scientific literacy.

  5. Studies addressing equity, inclusion, and cultural responsiveness in mathematics education exploring strategies to support diverse learners and close achievement gaps.

  6. Research on professional development, teacher preparation, and innovative teaching practices that support effective mathematics instruction.

  7. Investigations into early mathematics learning, curriculum development, and teaching strategies that foster foundational mathematical understanding in young children.
