For current and potential research students

Potential students are welcome to email me regarding Summer Research Scholarship, Honours, Master / Master of Professional Studies, and PhD. All these involve a research component.

​

My main research themes are:

 

      - mathematics learning and teaching in university and secondary school, including the transition period

​

    - coming to grips with threshold concepts and fundamental processes (e.g., problem posing, problem solving,       

       proving, defining, exemplifying) and investigating how digital resources can be of help 

​

      - mathematicians' teaching practices, research, and the interrelations between them 

​

      - mathematical communication online and in hybrid spaces 

​

      - theories of learning with a special interest in discursive and socio-cultural approaches

​

      - creativity and giftedness.

​

Two lines of research have intensified recently: developmental research in co-partnership with school teachers and teacher-mathematicians, and mathematics education of Pasifika and Māori students.

​

Feel free to explore some of my current projects. I am always open to new projects with new people.
