The Proceedings of PME-XVI has been published in three volumes because of the large number of papers presented at the conference. Volume 1 contains: (1) brief reports from each of the 11 standing Working Groups on their respective roles in organizing PME-XVI; (2) brief reports from 6 Discussion Groups; and (3) 35 research reports covering authors with last names beginning A-K. Volume II contains 42 research reports covering authors with last names beginning K-S. Volume III contains (1) 15 research reports (authors S-W); (2) 31 short oral presentations; (3) 40 poster presentations; (4) 9 Featured Discussion Groups reports; (5) 1 brief Plenary Panel report and 4 Plenary Address reports. In summary, the three volumes contain 95 full-scale research reports, 4 full-scale plenary reports, and 96 briefer reports. Conference subject content can be conveyed through a listing of Work Group topics, Discussion Group topics, and Plenary Panels/Addresses, as follows. Working Groups: Advanced Mathematical Thinking; Algebraic Processes and Structure; Classroom Research; Cultural Aspects in Mathematics Learning; Geometry; Psychology of Inservice Education of Mathematics Teachers; Ratio and Proportion; Representations; Research on the Psychology of Mathematics Teacher Development; Social Psychology of Mathematics Education; Teachers as Researchers in Mathematics Education. Discussion Groups: Dilemmas of Constructivist Mathematics Teaching; Meaningful Contexts for School Mathematics; Paradigms Lost - What Can Mathematics Education Learn From Research in Other Disciplines?; Philosophy of Mathematics Education; Research in the Teaching and Learning of Undergraduate Mathematics; Visualization in Problem Solving and Learning. Plenary Panels/Addresses: Visualization and Imagistic Thinking; "The Importance and Limits of Epistemological Work in Didactics" (M. Artigue); "Mathematics as a Foreign Language" (G. Ervynck); "On Developing a Unified Model for the Psychology of Mathematical Learning and Problem Solving" (G. Goldin); "Illuminations and Reflections--Teachers, Methodologies, and Mathematics" (C.
