Sub-Themes

The 9th ISMEI invites contributions that explore the integration of STEM and Computational Thinking in mathematics education through sustainable, inclusive, and future-ready approaches.

01 Cognitive Synergies: STEM and Computational Thinking in Mathematics +

This theme focuses on the theoretical and practical integration of CT into math curricula.

  • - Developing mathematical reasoning through algorithmic thinking.
  • - Modeling and simulation in STEM-based problem solving.
  • - The impact of CT on abstract mathematical conceptualization.
02 Sociocultural Assets: Inclusive and Equitable STEM Frameworks +

This theme addresses the transformation of student backgrounds into learning advantages.

  • - Leveraging cultural identity in mathematics and STEM motivation.
  • - Designing inclusive instructional materials for diverse learner populations.
  • - Bridging the digital divide in Computational Thinking access.
03 Future-Ready Pedagogy: Aligning Math with 21st-Century Skills +

This theme centers on teaching methods that prepare students for the modern workforce.

  • - Evidence-based instructional models for STEM-CT integration.
  • - Assessing 21st-century competencies in the mathematics classroom.
