PROPOSALS
Revision of Proposal Review Criteria for PME-NA Annual Meeting The 1999-2000 PME-NA Steering Committee decided to revise the Proposal Review Criteria to better distinguish review criteria for empirical and theoretical proposals.

Empirical Proposals present a study based in data and draw conclusions thereform. These proposals will continue to be evaluated using recent criteria including (1) significance of question, (2) relationship to PME-NA goals, (3) theoretical framework, (4) mode of inquiry, (5) rigor of analysis, (6) interpretation of results, and (7) quality of writing. Questions to consider as you write or read these proposals are as follows: Does the study address an significant question? Is the study aligned with the goals of PME-NA? Is the study framed by theory? Does the study employ a methodology appropriate for the question it investigates? Does the proposal present data analyses thereof and are the analyses supported by the data? Does the proposal provide claims, conclusions, or suggestions that are based in its data? Does the proposal display high quality writing?

Theoretical Proposals present a principled analysis of issues, drawing connections among current explanatory frameworks and extending them in important ways. These proposals will be evaluated with revised criteria including (1) significance of issues, (2) relationship to PME-NA goals, (3) analysis of issues, (4) implications for theory, (5) implications for practice, and (6) quality of writing. Questions to consider when writing or reading these proposals: Does the proposal address issues that are important for mathematics education? Does the proposal offer a penetrating analysis of the issues or extend our understanding of them? Does the proposal build stronger connections within a theory or among theories? Does the theoretical discussion have implications for practice? Does the proposal display high quality writing? Further information will be sent to reviewers.
