Proceedings of the training conference history of mathematics in mathematics education

Scientific research in the field of mathematics education experiences a lack of institutional and financial support in some Western Balkan countries. Mathematics experts and researchers face different obstacles in their attempt to establish regional research communities in the area of mathematics education and to integrate themselves into the existing international research community. The training conference titled History of Mathematics in Mathematics Education was held at the Faculty of Education, University of Kragujevac, from 26th to 30th October 2018. The main goal of the conference was to investigate the possibilities of integrating the history of mathematics into primary, secondary and higher educational settings and exploring historical traditions in mathematics education. The broader, overaching aim was to enable scholars from neighbouring Western Balkan countries to engage in common research and establish or re-establish relationships between their mathematics education communities.
