2025 FYMSiC One-day Online Conference: Am I convinced? Research and Evidence in Mathematics Education, May 8th, 2025
First-Year Math and Stats in Canada (FYMSiC) is organizing another FREE one-day online conference, titled “Am I convinced? Research and Evidence in Mathematics Education”. We want to stir the pot again and reflect. We hope for the following during our conference:
What counts as evidence in mathematics education when it comes to research on teaching and learning? How does one implement something meaningful in their teaching, or select a topic to engage with when conducting research? What gives us confidence that a particular teaching strategy that is claimed to be effective by the authors of a research paper would work in our classroom? How far apart are mathematics education research and teaching practice in university mathematics? These questions are important to think about, and the FYMSiC conference will be an opportunity to explore, discuss, and share thoughts and experiences.
The one-day online FYMSiC conference will be held on Thursday, May 8th, 2025, starting at 11:00 EDT and ending at 17:00 EDT.
The event will be hosted on Zoom with a link provided to registered attendees a week before the conference, as well as on the FYMSiC website (www.firstyearmath.ca).
The plan is to have five sessions. Join one session or stay for the entire event!
