Volume I contains a brief Plenary Panel report, 4 full-scale Plenary Addresses, the brief reports of 10 Working Groups and 4 Discussion Groups, and a total of 23 Research Reports grouped under 4 themes. Volume II contains 37 Research Reports grouped under 7 themes. Volume III contains 28 Research Reports grouped under 5 themes, 25 Oral Communications, and 19 Poster Presentations. In summary, the 3 volumes contain 88 full-scale Research Reports,4 full-scale Plenary Addresses, and 59 briefer reports. Conference subject matter can be conveyed through a listing of the 15 themes under which Research Reports were grouped: Advanced Mathematical Thinking; Algebraic Thinking; Assessment and Evaluation; Pupil's Beliefs and Teacher's Beliefs; Computers and Calculators; Early Number Learning; Functions and Graphs; Geometrical and Spatial Thinking; Imagery and Visualization; Language and Mathematics; Epistemology, Metacognition, and Social Construction; Probability, Statistics, and Combinatorics; Problem Solving; Methods of Proof; Rational Numbers and Proportions; Social Factors and Cultural Factors. Each volume contains an author index covering all three volumes.(MKR) ********************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made * from the original document. *********************************************************************** In ItoPLUOVIINI AO $1011V01101 04/0 IC #000.)113003 43a1i paw wummat0w1 1VNOLLY04103 S30tIf1OS31:1 NOLLYMOINI 1:131P430 (01k13) till tuwnoop uci panpord, to pA1110 WO!) uoncl 10 uogerusei Buliulauo p 0 loull slOuv43 GAIN uQ W o1 Acudus uotioftpotcl, Amen') IUIOd 41 sUOWd0 Dolce tA my' -roop mow op IOU Aluettou tumAls, 10410 !too ucvsoci ,o b4od .34,04 voi NOISSIVibl3d., 01 3011001:W3H SIH1 1VIU31VIN SVH N339 031NVLI9 AG n dCi ; a-31-0Tor-61-c)a_ 01 3H1 S301:1110S3b11VN0i1V01103 gAld NOI1VMOANI 831N30 .,*(01i:13) 40, &900 Jos G9/ es, 91% 9,10G it'tio,/e44 'woo 040,. 44/70.jos, ajo 40/ wc 1S38 Ad03 318V1IVAV /1/b Psychologyof Mathematics PME JULYXVII Education 18-23,1993 Proceedings of the Seventeenth International UNIVERSITY TSUKUBA,OF Conference IBARAKI,TSUKUBA JAPAN Proceedings of the Seventeenth International Conference for the Psychology of Mathematics Education Published by the Program Committee of the 17th PME Conference, Japan.

Thereafterdifferent countries (Netherlands, Germany, U.K., U.S.A., Belgium, Israel, Australia, Canada,Hungary, Mexico, Italy) hosted the conference. In 1993, the PME conference will be held inJapan for the first time. The conference will take place at the University of Tsukuba, in Tsukubacity. The university is now twenty years old. It is organized into three Clusters and two Institutes. Thereare about 11,000 students and 1,500' 'culty members. The Institute of Education at the Universityof Tsukuba has a strong commitment to mathematics education. The academic program of PME 17 includes: 88 research reports (1 from an honorary member) 4 plenary addresses 1 plenary panel 11 working groups 4 discussion groups 25 short oral presentations 19 poster presentations The review proccst; The Program Committee received a total of 102 research proposals that encompasseda wide variety of themes and approaches. After the proposers' researchcategory sheets had been matched with those provided by potential reviewers, each research reportwas submitted to three outside reviewers who were knowledgeable in the specific researcharea Papers which received acceptances from at least two external reviewers were automatically accepted. Those which failedto do so were then reviewed by two members of the International Program Committee. In theevent of a tie (which sometimes occurred, for example, when only two external reviewers returned their evaluations),a third member of the Program Committee read the paper. Papers which receivedat least two decisions "against" acceptance, that is a greater number of decisions "against" acceptancethan "for", were rejected. If a reviewer submitted written comments they were forwarded to the author(s)along with the Program Committee's decision. All oral communications and poster proposalswere reviewed by the International Program Committee.
