Annual Colloquium on Research in Mathematics and Science Education

University of Massachusetts Lowell
Graduate School of Education
Mathematics and Science Education Program

The Annual Colloquium on Research in Math and Science Education was initiated in 1996 to enhance the quality of graduate student research in education, to set expectations for intellectual interaction among educators as well as to create and sustain the spirit of sharing research findings. The major goals of the Colloquium are to foster expression of individual creativity and encourage scholarly contribution to the field, promote educational leadership and individual interest. The Colloquium is the great opportunity for those educators who are actively involved in their professional development.

Since 1997, each Colloquium has featured a keynote speaker

  • 1997 Dr. Carol Findell,             Boston University
  • 1998 Dr. Allan Feldman,          University of Massachusetts Amherst
  • 1999 Dr. Katherine Merseth,   Harvard University
  • 2000 Dr. Rob Traver,               Simmons College 
  • 2001 Dr. Lillie Albert,               Boston College
  • 2002 Patricia Davidson,            University of Massachusetts Boston
  • 2003 Dr. Susan Doubler,          TERC/ Lesley College
  • 2004 Andee Rubin,                  TERC
  • 2005 William Leonard             University of Massachusetts Amherst
  • 2006 Annalucia Schliemann     Tufts University
  • 2007 Dr. Hannah Sevian          University of Massachusetts Boston
  • 2008  Dr. Patricia Davidson     University of Massachusetts Boston

 

 

 

The first volume of the Colloquium Journal was published in 1997. The critical reflection is the integral component of the Colloquium Journal articles. The journal seeks articles (see the submission guidelines) that focus on effective research in Mathematics and Science Education together with exploration of the needs for future research.
