Lecturer in Mathematics Education

Research Topics

My research is in the field of mathematics education and focuses primarily on teaching practices in elementary school. I examine 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 contexts, 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

Lessons

I teach in the Multidisciplinary Bachelor’s program, in mathematics (both content and pedagogy), in the first year (L1) ofTU At the Intersection of Mathematics and Science”TU , and in the third year (L3) ofTU “Mathematics”TU . I also teach in the MEEF 1st-degree Master’s program, providing research training, thesis supervision, internship guidance, and mock oral exams as part of the preparation for the Primary School Teacher Recruitment Exam (CRPE).
