Conference on advancing research on quantitative reasoning in STEM education

[Mathematics Education Researchers (MER) community]

FWD message:

We are excited to announce an interdisciplinary conference on advancing research on quantitative reasoning (QR) in STEM education! The conference will be held at Chapman University on January 15-16, 2026, and will have three fantastic plenary speakers (Anita Schuhardt, bio education; Marcy Towns, chemistry education; Lindsey Engle Richland, math education). The conference has the following goals:

• Provide a forum for sharing research about the teaching and learning of QR in STEM
• Facilitate conversations between different STEM education research disciplines
• Synthesize current research on QR in STEM, exploring key themes across STEM education disciplines
• Identify opportunities for future research and collaboration among different STEM education research disciplines related to QR
• Generate a meeting report or white paper that summarizes the state of research on QR in STEM

Early bird registration and abstract submission (short talks and posters) are now open; abstracts are due by October 15. Please visit our conference website for more information, registration, and abstract submission: https://sites.chapman.edu/qrstemeducationconference/ Works in progress are welcome, and we particularly encourage submissions from trainees. 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jeremy
