Foundations and Creativity: The Strengths and Weaknesses of Mathematics Education in East Asia

&nbsp1

East Asian countries have distinctive traditions in mathematics education. Students from East Asian countries often top the list in international assessments of mathematics education and mathematics competitions. Research and practical teaching in this district are developing rapidly with its social and economic advances. Continuing the research direction of ICMI Study — Mathematics Education in Different Cultural Traditions: A Comparative Study of East Asia and the West, EARCOME 3 will provide a forum for global researchers, mathematics educators, school teachers and policy makers to reflect on East Asian countries’ experience, issues and insight into the theories and principles behind the facts and phenomena. It is our belief that further international exchange on such a meaningful theme, not only among East Asian countries, but also between the East and the West, will truly benefit both eastern and western mathematics education development.

The conference theme will be mainly explored through following areas:
    ●  Curriculum  
    ●  Teaching  
    ●  Learning
    ●  Assessment
    ●  Teacher education
