Proceedings of the International Conference on Mathematics and Science Education (ICoMSE 2023)

We are happy to welcome you to the 7th International Conference on Mathematics and Science Education (ICoMSE) 2023 at the Department of Science Education, Universitas Negeri Malang, Malang, East Java, Indonesia, August 14–15th, 2023. It is a privilege to play host to the world’s foremost experts in the fields of chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and science education at this important conference on Science and Mathematics education. Our knowledge of how and why students learn science (chemistry, biology, physics) and mathematics and what can be done to improve science and mathematics education is expanded by studies of these subjects’ pedagogy.

We in the field of chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics education research are interested in what influences, aid or hinder students’ ability to learn the subject. We investigate various classroom settings, emerging methods for incorporating technology into chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics education, and the interplay between chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics, society, and other scientific fields. We are always working to improve our methods of preparing chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics teachers and providing ongoing support for their professional growth as we search for factors that increase student interest in the subject. We also consider the potential impact of recent developments in pedagogy and technology in the field of chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics education on ongoing investigations. We, therefore, chose the theme of the conference:

“Science and Mathematics Education Research for Sustainable Development”

The global situation following the ongoing post-COVID-19 pandemic and the difficulties faced by chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics education inspired this theme. In the midst of a global post-pandemic, this highlights the urgency of investing in quality education. The 4th goal of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Agenda is:

“Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” (SDG-4)

The field of chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics education has not been immune to these changes, but recent studies have yielded useful strategies for adapting to them. Researchers in chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics education are encouraged to review the topics covered at the ICOMSE 2023 conference, submit abstracts, and attend the event. We hope to see you in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Enjoy the conference!
