Lecturer in Mathematics Education

Research Topics

My research focuses on mathematics education and primarily examines teaching practices in elementary schools. I explore the influence of sociocultural and linguistic contexts in teaching and learning situations, their impact on teaching practices, and their effects on student learning. My goal is to study the relationships between context, learning, and teaching. To this end, I am developing a PCK Context (Pedagogical Content Knowledge Context) model that allows us to identify, through teachers’ professional knowledge and beliefs, how they take different contexts into account. At the intersection of mathematics and anthropology, I am also interested in ethnomathematics, specifically through the development of contextualized teaching approaches in the field of geometry.

General topics:

  • Mathematics Education
  • Teaching Practices
  • Relationships between contexts, teaching, and learning
  • Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)
  • Ethnomathematics
  • Professional Development

Courses

I teach in the Multidisciplinary Bachelor’s program, in mathematics (both content and pedagogy), in the first year ofTU inTU “Interdisciplinary Mathematics and Science”TU , and in the third year of the Bachelor’sTU inTU “Mathematics”TU . I also teach in the MEEF 1st-degree Master’s program, providing research training, thesis supervision, internship monitoring, and oral exam simulations as part of the preparation for the Primary School Teacher Recruitment Exam (CRPE).
