| Introduction |
The
Edinburgh Centre for Mathematical Education (ECME) was established
in October 1984 to support the learning of mathematics at school and
university, to provide support courses for teachers and to undertake
research in mathematical education. The merger with Moray House Institute
of Education in 1998 provided opportunities to build on previous co-operation,
to enlarge the community of researchers and strengthen links with schools.
The Centre acts as a focus for mathematical education in the University.
. |
| The
main activities of the ECME are to: |
| • |
conduct research into
the Teaching and Learning of mathematics. |
| • |
ensure
that pre-service Teacher Education students are aware of current issues
in mathematics education. |
| • |
provide
a forum for debate into teaching and learning of mathematics through
seminars and the Mathematics Teaching Conference.
|
| • |
contribute
to the development of Continuing Professional Development within the
mathematics curriculum. |
| • |
promote good practice
in mathematics teaching, including the effective use of technology
in the teaching and learning process.
