A focus on equity and cultural responsiveness underwrites our research projects and the developmental work we engage in with teachers, postgraduate students, and new researchers. Our strong tradition of collaboration with international and national researchers enables us to contribute to scholarly debates, in both the research and professional fields, in ways that are research-informed.
Members of CeRME are engaged in a range of leadership roles at all levels and have received international recognition for their work.
CeRME’s core areas of interest and expertise are in the teaching and learning of mathematics across formal and informal contexts and in the professional education of teachers.
Our work links up-to-date international literature with practice and uses a range of research methodologies to reflect the complexity of teaching and learning mathematics.
Call for Research Participants
We invite teachers to participate in a Massey University research project lead by Dr Generosa Leach and Professor Jodie Hunter. This research is focused on equity in mathematics education and titled Mathematics for equity: Using dialogue to reimagine mathematics classrooms.
The project will investigate how mathematics education can be reimagined as a tool for developing and sustaining equitable communities. The results of this study may be helpful to improve teaching and learning of mathematics in New Zealand.
We would like to find out how teachers can imagine their mathematics classrooms as sites for equity. As part of this project, teachers will be asked to write a story guided by a prompt illustrating a dialogue between the future and present. The teachers will be compensated for their time with a gift voucher.
If your teachers are interested in participating, please ask them to email Generosa Leach: g.leach@massey.ac.nz or Jodie Hunter: j.hunter1@massey.ac.nz for further information.
