Eléda ROBO
Lecturer in Mathematics Education
Research Topics
My research is in the field of mathematics education and focuses primarily on teaching practices in elementary schools. 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 Contextual PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge) modelthatallows 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

- 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) of the “TU ” track titled “At the Intersection of Mathematics and Science,” and in the third year (L3) of the “TU ” track in mathematics. I also teach in the MEEF 1st-degree Master’s program, providing research training, thesis supervision, internship guidance, and oral exam simulations as part of the preparation for the Primary School Teacher Recruitment Exam (CRPE).
