Mathematics Education

An inclusive community for conversations about mathematics education research

The BERA Mathematics Education SIG aims to bring together researchers interested in all aspects of mathematics learning and teaching, both inside and outside of formal educational settings. We embrace an eclectic range of methodological and conceptual approaches to mathematics education research, encouraging creative approaches to tackling current issues.

Research interests

Research interests are wide ranging and include both responses to current debates in education and exploration of issues that have long been associated with mathematics education. We aim to be inclusive and to welcome new perspectives. Some examples are represented by presenters at recent PRiME events

SIG aims

To support mathematics education practitioner researchers through the annual one-day Practitioner Research in Mathematics Education (PRiME) conference (run in collaboration with the British Society for Research into Learning Mathematics (BSRLM)), providing opportunities to share both recent research and research in progress and for networking
To enhance networking and research collaborations across the UK, for example by hosting regular fora exploring aspects of mathematics education across the four nations
To encourage critical engagement with policy and practice initiatives
To build and maintain links with other mathematics education organisations both nationally and internationally.
