Research Topics

My research is in the field of mathematics education.

Topics

  • A study of teaching practices that are useful for the teaching profession, with a view to developing a teaching approach that takes into account the collaborative aspect of exploring a topic through research.
  • A Study of the Implementation of Research Training in the Initial Education of Future Elementary School Teachers and Its Effects on Student Practices.
  • Analysis of the processes at play in collaborative research involving researchers and teachers, specifically: an examination of the conditions that facilitate the co-construction of knowledge, and an examination of theoretical and methodological approaches for identifying and interpreting evidence of teachers’ professional development.

Lessons

  • Initial training in mathematics education for the third year of the Multidisciplinary Bachelor’s degree program and the second year ofthe Master’s in Elementary Education(MEEF) program.
  • Research training for M1 and M2 students; supervision of theses for the Master’s in Elementary Education (MEEF1st degree) and the Master’s in Mathematics Education (MEEF2nd degree).
  • Presentation forTU and EpistemologyTU in the Master’sinMathematicsEducation(MEEF) program for secondary school teachers, on the topic “Quantities and Measurement.”
  • Presentation for a reading seminar as part of the Master's program in Science Education offered by the FDS.

Responsibilities

  • Local coordinator (Montpellier campus) for TU S 5 & 6) TU , “Toward Mastery of Disciplinary Knowledge and Its Pedagogy,” in mathematics and mathematics education, at the L3 level.
  • Member of the steering committee for the Associated Educational Sites (LéA) at IFé-ENS in Lyon.
  • Co-director of a LéA program at IFé-Ens in Lyon: LéA on the Mathematization of Concrete Problems in Videos.
