ICMI Study 27 “Mathematics Education and the Socio-Ecological”

Before launching this study, ICMI deceided to host a one-day online symposium on 20th March 2023 (GMT), to act as a gathering point for scholars working in what might be diverse areas, but whose concerns could be broadly grouped together as “socioecological”.
The aims of the symposium were:
- To gather the “state of the art” of socio-ecological research from around the world and engage in
dialogue across perspectives.
- To explore the different ways in which a theorization of the socio-ecological influences the focus and
methodological approach of mathematics education research.
- To consider practical implications of socio-ecological research for school/university curriculum and
pedagogy, education outside formal structures, teacher preparation, and policy.

This Symposium was very successful and

In April 2023 the ICMI EC announced the launching of the 27th ICMI Study on "Mathematics Education in the Socio-Ecological".

ICMI nominated the following International Program Committee (IPC):

• Vince Geiger (Australia)
• Rochelle Gutiérrez (USA)
• Mariam Makramalla (Egypt)
• Nathalie Sinclair (Canada)
• Armando Solares-Rojas (Mexico)
• Paola Valero (Sweden)
• Catherine Vistro-Yu (Philippines)
• Frederick Leung (Hongkong) ex-officio President of ICMI (until 31.12.2024)
• Merrilyn Goos (Australia) ex-officio President of ICMI (as of 1.1.2025)

The IPC meetings were held:

• 2023 Octber 19 and 23 (online)

• 2025 January 21 (in person in Manila - Philipines)

For the online meetings the IPC sometimes had two meetings to cater for the time differences.
