Sharing Experiences Groups (SEGs)

Sharing Experiences Groups (SEGs)

SEGs are small groups (10 to 20 participants) designed to exchange and discuss experiences pertaining to research and/or teaching concerning a well-defined theme of common interest. SEG’s are formed via proposals to the IPC. It is an excellent opportunity for groups of teachers or researchers involved in projects or facing comparable conditions or theoretical frameworks to exchange and contrast viewpoints and experience with other colleagues with similar concerns. In addition, even though the IPC strived to include as many topics as possible, there may have been some left out. This alows such topics to be addressed by interested individuals. Normally, an SEG will be allotted one or two one-hour time slots.

The following are examples of possible themes to be discussed by an SEG.

  • • how to initiate and conduct a research project
  • • what should be the balance between course work and dissertation work in a PhD study
  • • problems typically encountered in planning and carrying through empirical research
  • • obstacles, or avenues, to innovation experienced by individual teachers who want to adopt innovative approaches to teaching or assessment
  • • experiences of team teaching
  • • problems encountered in graduate supervision
  • • projects involving “street mathematics”

Please consult the section How to contribute and How to submit proposals if you want to contribute to this program.

Decisions will be announced no later than February 15, 2008. Latest time for changes to an accepted workshop programme is April 1, 2008.
