Mathematics Education
The Mathematics Education Research Group in UCD focuses on the teaching and learning of Mathematics, with an emphasis on post-primary and university levels. We are interested in the professional development and initial teacher education of mathematics educators, including those working in mathematics support centres. Focusing on higher level education, we conduct research on the teaching and learning of undergraduate mathematics, with an emphasis on the roles that technology, assessment and feedback can play. At the post-primary level, we are interested in the Lesson Study model of teacher professional development and in developing mathematical knowledge and skills for teaching.
