REVIEWING PROCESS

The Local Organizing Committee recruits potential reviewers from experienced PME members who have presented either two PME Research Reports in the last five years or presented three PME Research Reports in the last ten years. Reviewers received proposals for review according to the research categories that they marked in their Reviewer Information form, using ConfTool system. The proposals were sent to the reviewers according to the research categories marked by the author(s).

Reviewers for Reports of Studies (Empirical Research) were asked to comment on the following: theoretical framework and related literature, methodology (if appropriate), statement and discussion of results, clarity, and relevance to a PME audience.

Reviewers for Theoretical and Philosophical Essays were asked to comment on the theoretical framework and related literature, on the articulated statement of the author's position, on implications for existing and further research, and on the relevance to the PME audience.

The reviewing process was completed during the Second Meeting of the International Program Committee, end of March 2010. Notifications letters of acceptance/rejection were sent to the author (s) by April, 2^nd, 2010.
