Welcome to the official website of the 2011 International Conference on School Mathematics Textbooks (ICSMT 2011). ICSMT 2011 will be held during October 12-14, 2011 in Shanghai, China.
The primary goal of ICSMT is to promote researches on school mathematics textbooks, information interchange, and cooperations between educational policy makers, researchers, textbook designers and teachers in China and abroad.
The theme of ICSMT 2011 is to explore trends and characteristics of school mathematics textbooks around the world. There are several sub themes as follows:
| · Trends and characteristics of school mathematics textbooks
· Evaluation of school mathematics textbooks · Influences of textbooks on the teaching and learning of school mathematics · Research methodology for comparative studies of mathematics textbooks |
ICSMT 2011 will be held in the Putuo campus of East China Normal University (ECNU) and hosted by Department of Mathematics, School of Education Science and International Center of Teacher Education. ECNU is a key university located in Shanghai, China. ECNU has just started a research project funded by the Ministry of Education in China, which focuses on mathematics textbook comparison among Australia, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, Russia, Singapore, and the United States. The project director is Professor Jianpan Wang who is also the chair of IPC of ICSMT 2011.
