NORMA08 will have four central themes, around which the plenary lectures and working groups will be organised. These four themes are:

Theme A: Didactical design in mathematics education

This includes all types of controlled intervention research into the processes of planning, delivering and evaluating concrete mathematics education. It also includes the problem of reproducibility of results from such interventions.

Theme B: Education and identity of mathematics teachers

This includes research into teacher education programmes, teacher educators? practices, and the relation between teacher education and the formation of teachers?professional identity and competence as mathematics teachers.

Theme C: Technology in mathematics education

This includes studies of the rationales, modes and effects of technology use in mathematics teaching and learning at all levels.

Theme D: Mathematics for all: why? what? when?

This includes studies of mathematical literacy, rationales for ?general? mathematics education, and the challenges of socio-cultural diversity in mathematics education.
