Participants at the workshop are invited to submit research papers for presentation and discussion. The main language of Madif9 is English but reports written in Swedish are also welcome. Papers on all areas of mathematics education research are welcome. Contributions directly related to the seminar theme will be placed in a specific strand in the program. Each accepted contribution will be given a 45 minute presentation time that includes time for discussant and general discussion within the program in parallel strands. A first version of the report, no longer than 10 A4 pages to be sent to the chair of the program committee no later than 1 November 2013 (the e-mail address is given below). Papers must be written in the template which can be downloaded here: madif9 (dotx), Word file here: madif9 (docx), and sent as a Word file to be accepted. A blinded version of an article also must be sent, where author names, references by the authors and other details that could identify the author are removed. Papers should adhere to the guidelines found here.

Submitted research papers will be reviewed by at least two other researchers through a double blind peer review. People who send in contributions are expected to participate in the review process by reviewing one or two other contributions. The review is intended to be constructive positive, i.e. the assessment shall also be supplemented with any suggestions for improvement of the report. Decisions about the paper acceptance will made by the program committee. All authors will be notified by 1st December if their contribution is accepted for presentation at the conference. At the same time, a report will be sent that indicates what changes need to done for the manuscript to be published in the conference proceedings. A revised version must be submitted no later than January 10. If the program committee considers that the contribution needs further work to meet the requirements described in the review report then an updated contribution must be made to the program committee by 1 March 2014. Contributions that fail to achieve a satisfactory level will not be published in the conference proceedings.

At each paper presentation, a specially appointed person (known as a discussant) will chair the session and initiate a discussion by presenting a short response to the paper. If you are interested in being a discussant, please contact the program chair no later than 15 December 2013.

Short presentations

At MADIF9, there are also opportunities to provide a short communication. This provides an opportunity to present and discuss parts of projects or ongoing research. The research component must be clear in the proposal. The proposal should contain a short summary of the contribution of no more than two A4 pages (according to the style which can be downloaded here: madif9 (dotx) or Word file here: madif9 (docx)). Please note that proposals must be written in this format, but without an abstract, and sent as a Word file and be with the chair of the program committee no later than November 1, 2013 (e-mail address are provided below below). Acceptance of proposals is made by the program committee, which will notify if the proposal is accepted by December 1, 2013. During the presentation at MADIF9, the author may provide a hard-copy of a longer version of the proposal to interested participants. Each accepted short communication will be given 20 or 30 minutes (including time for discussion) in the program, depending on the total number of contributions, in parallel sessions. Short presentations will be published in the conference proceedings with only the title and abstract.
