Research school off to a good start
The new national research school in mathematics recently started off with big interest and many participants. Over 70 participated.
The school is lead by MERGA, the Mathematics Education Research Group at Agder, UiA’s own priority research centre in mathematics didactics.
“Through the graduate school, we will create a community for PhD students and their supervisors in mathematics and science didactics throughout the country. We are home to a large academic community here at UiA and a national powerhouse within mathematics didactics. In the work on the application, we invited all the universities and four university colleges to take part, but the project is led by UiA”, says MERGA leader Martin Carlsen who also is the leader of the graduate school.
The goal is to strengthen research on mathematics and science teaching.
