PME36

 I took part in Psychology of Mathematics Education from July 18th to 22nd in Taiwan. I made a presentation about a second analysis of PISA2003 Mathematical Literacy Test. My focus point was what kind of answers pattern Japanese students had at that time especially in the area of probability and statistics.

In the research in mathematics education, research using statistical way or second analysis would not be major. However, some of participants were also focusing on educational assessment in mathematics using statistical way, for instance Item Response Theory or Hierarchical Linear Model. Those methods have recently been beginning to attract attention not only in mathematics education but also in the area of educational sociology and educational measurement. I would like to make a high-quality research using those ways to develop the educational research in mathematics.

Next Psychology of Mathematics Education Conference will be organized in Germany. I would like to make effort to submit my paper and presentation very nicely in English.

Thank you very much.
