Proceedings of TSG 5

The papers published here form part of the Conference Proceedings of the ICME 11 conference in the Topic Study Group 5 strand, centered around the theme of New Developments in Tertiary Mathematics Education.

All papers were blind reviewed by at least two peers from an international team of referees. Papers were accepted on the basis of being relevant to the theme of the particular topic study group and also had to contain

·         a statement of the problem / issue and a discussion of its significance

·         some critical analysis of the research literature as it relates to the topic of the paper

·         conclusions and implications for mathematics education derived from the study.

Papers appearing in the Proceedings were accepted by the reviewers as papers of international standing. Papers appearing in the Presentation Reports sections were accepted as conference presentations and reflect a personal view or experience.
