15th ICMI Study Conference:
The Professional Education and Development of Teachers of Mathematics
Each ICMI Study addresses an issue or topic of particular significance in contemporary mathematical education, and is conducted by an international team of leading scholars and practitioners in that domain appointed by the Executive Committee of ICMI.
Despite the international nature of its position and role, ICMI from time to time had lends its name to a variety of regional conferences on mathematics education, primarily in less affluent parts of the world. Launched in the mid-seventies, the series of ICMI Regional Conferences then had as an explicit aim to facilitate wider discussion of mathematical education issues outside those areas of Europe and America where international meetings on the subject had mainly been held before. A number of Regional Conferences have taken place over the years, the aim being to foster reflecti
A major ICMI program is the series of ICMI Studies.
A major responsibility of ICMI is to plan for the quadrennial International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME). ICME is the largest international conference on mathematics education. The ICMEs were launched in 1969 in Lyon, France, at the initiative of ICMI President Hans Freudenthal (1905-1990) and have been held since then in leap years. ICMEs are the meeting point for mathematics educators, curriculum developers, mathematicians, researchers in mathematics education, teachers, teacher educators and resource producers.
The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction was established at the Fourth International Congress of Mathematicians held in Rome in 1908. It was initiated to support a widespread interest among mathematicians in school education. The Rome Congress adopted a resolution, submitted on the initiative of the American mathematician, teacher, educator and historian of mathematics, David Eugene Smith (1860-1944), creating an International Commission with the initial mandate of making a comparative study on the methods and plans of teaching mathematics at secondary schools
