Submission Form
Please submit your Early Bird research paper online. You will be asked to create a login for Oxford Abstracts—our new conference management system.
We only need the blinded file (anonymised) in the correct template for review. You will be asked to submit your full unblinded manuscript and publication agreement if the paper is accepted.
MERGA is concerned with the promotion of quality teaching of mathematics and mathematics education at all levels, through critical study and reflection on practice and theory. Work accepted for presentation at the conference will be related to mathematics education whether at pre-school, primary, secondary, vocational, and/or tertiary levels or within informal and workplace settings. Relevant topic areas include:
- Mathematics teaching, learning and assessment.
- Mathematics teacher education.
- The policy environment of mathematics education practice.
- Emerging cultural, political, economic and technological contexts of mathematics education.
- The practice of mathematics within various cultural, sociological, philosophical and technological contexts.
MERGA acknowledges the equivalent value of research and other forms of scholarly inquiry. As such, a broad range of research methodologies and their methods will be accepted. These will include, for instance, quantitative approaches such as experimental and quasi-experimental investigations, qualitative studies such as case studies or ethnographies, participatory projects and postmodernist inquiry. MERGA also acknowledges, and encourages, scholarship in mathematics education that draws on a wide range of theoretical paradigms and interdisciplinary analyses. MERGA acknowledges the importance of opportunities for sharing emerging ideas in mathematics education and teacher development.
Submitting multiple papers
- Inform all co-authors that they have been included on submissions.
- Do not submit the same (or very similar) content in different papers or different formats.
- To ensure that the conference program is as inclusive as possible, authors will normally be restricted to TWO published regular research papers carrying their name. Authors may also have their names on TWO symposium papers. Authors may also wish contribute to TWO short communications, posters, or round tables (but not two of each).
- If more than two of any type of paper/symposium/communication are submitted, the conference organising committees have the right to select from multiple contributions carrying the same name, with no further consultation.
Financial support for conference attendance
The MERGA Executive provides a range of bursaries to encourage and enable attendance at the annual conference.
