Abstract

This volume contains the proceedings of the 2nd Nordic Research Conference on Special Needs Education in Mathematics, which took place at Örebro University in October 7–9, 2003. The theme of the conference was Democracy and Participation – A Challenge for Special Needs education in Mathematics. The programme included plenary lectures, paper presentations, network meetings, a round table discussion and social events. There were more than 70 participants from all Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden), Germany, and the United Kingdom. One of the more important results of the conference was the establishment of a Nordic Research Network on Special Needs Education in Mathematics. ; The report has been previously published as a paperback edition, ISBN 91-7668-399-0. In this electronic edition the chapter "Dilemmaet bindende trinmål og matematikkompetencer set i relation til børns vanskeligheder med matematik" by Anni Jensen has been removed since the author has not approved of her text being published electronically.
