The number of submissions to NW 24 grew again this year: we received 64 submissions for ECER 2026, compared with 38 in 2025. A total of 23 contributions were presented in our programme, up from 15 in 2024. The sessions covered teacher identity, beliefs and working conditions, teacher professional development, mathematical modelling and problem solving, mathematical content areas such as algebra and geometry, student motivation, affect and inclusion, and digital tools in mathematics classrooms.
At the network meeting, we had a constructive discussion about the network's scope and the kinds of papers that fit it, including in relation to joint sessions with other networks. We also talked about the review process and about how to stay in touch between conferences.
The network also offered a Tuesday morning workshop and joint sessions with NW 09 and NW 11.
Tuesday morning workshop: “From Eye Movements to Instructional Design”, in which teacher educators and researchers worked with eye-tracking vignettes to diagnose students’ misinterpretations of statistical graphs. The workshop was linked to the Eye Teach Stats project.
