You are invited to submit a paper in the field of mathematics education research. The main language is English but papers may also be written in Swedish. During the paper sessions accepted papers will be presented and discussed. Deadline for submission of paper proposals (max. 10 pages, Word document) is November 1, 2009, notification of acceptance by December 1, 2009. Deadline for (revised) paper to be available (for conference participants) on the Madif7 web site is January 10, 2010. For publication in the proceedings, the deadline for the revised paper (no more than 10 pages, Times 12p, 1 1/2 space Word document) is March 1, 2010. Please send your paper as an e-mail attachment to the chair of the programme committee. A research report will have 45 minutes (note the change from 60 min that was previously announced, due to the number of papers) for presentation and discussion, in parallel sessions.
 

Short communications

There will be a peer review process of the submitted full research paper contributions, where contributors (voluntarily) will take part in the review process by reviewing one or two submitted papers. The papers will aslso be reviewd by the programme committee and external experts. It is expected to be a constructive review process, where reviwers give suggestions to their peers for improving the quality of the contributions. The final decision of acceptance will be made by the programme committee.
