Profile

My research interests encompass several areas of undergraduate mathematics education: students' understanding of concepts in number theory and abstract algebra; students strategies when approaching the construction and verification of mathematical proofs; the role of definition in students' mathematical thinking; and the impact of student-centered problem-based teaching at the undergraduate level. Other research interests include the mathematical development of secondary mathematics teachers, the role of content knowledge in teaching secondary mathematics, and problem-based mathematics teaching at the secondary level.
