North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education Annual Meeting XXII Tucson, AZ 2000 Guidelines for Reviewers of Proposals for PME-NA Thank you for reviewing PME-NA XXII proposals.

Please return the completed reviews on or by March 17, 2000.

Goals of PME-NA

a) To promote international contacts and the exchange of scientific information in the psychology of mathematics education;
b) To promote and stimulate interdisciplinary research in the aforesaid area with the cooperation of psychologists, mathematicians and mathematics educators;
c) To further a deeper and better understanding of the psychological aspects of teaching and learning mathematics and implications thereof.

Types of Proposals

a) Empirical: An empirical proposal is one that presents a study based in data and draws conclusions thereof.
b) Theoretical: A theoretical proposal is one whose main thrust is to give principled analyses of issues. It draws connections among current explanatory frameworks and extends them in important ways.
c) Discussion Group: A discussion group proposal is one that aims to provide an occasion for members interested in a particular issue or set of issues to begin collaborations. Discussion groups must be proposed each year they are held. One objective for a discussion group, though neither unique nor necessary, is that it become a working group in the future, possibly within two years.

Proposal Formats

All proposals must be related to the goals of PME-NA. Discussion groups need not have a specified format, as they are mainly a request for a place on the schedule. Empirical and theoretical proposals may request the following formats:

a) Research Reports: 40 minutes for presentation and discussion. These sessions are for presentations of fully developed studies or theoretical
analysis. If a proposal is accepted as a Research Report, a 7-page final paper will be published in the conference proceedings0
.
b) Short Orals: 15 minutes for presentation; collective discussion of all reports will be at the session's end. these sessions are for presentations of partial results or work in development. If a proposal is accepted as a Short Oral, a 1-page synopsis will be published in the conference proceedings.

c) Poster Sessions: Limited to the equivalent of nine standard letter sheets, to be displayed on a poster board. If a proposal is accepted as a Poster, a 1-page abstract will be published in the conference proceedings.
