Fabian Rösken

Fabian Rösken is a research assistant at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Faculty of Mathematics, working in the doctoral project 'SMART' funded by the German Centre for Teacher Education in Mathematics (DZLM). He is affiliated with the didactics working groups led by Prof. Dr. Bärbel Barzel and Prof. Dr. Florian Schacht. His work focuses on mathematics education, particularly formative assessment, teacher professionalization, and early algebra instruction.

Educational Background:

• Bachelor of Arts in Primary School Education (Mathematical, Language, and English Foundations), University of Duisburg-Essen (2016–2019)
• Master of Education in Primary School Teaching, University of Duisburg-Essen (2019–2021)

His research interests center on understanding-oriented diagnostics and the use of digital media in mathematics education. He emphasizes the development of professional teaching practices grounded in scientific research, particularly in the context of early algebra learning. His work bridges theoretical educational research with practical classroom application.

The available publications indicate a strong focus on project-based knowledge transfer, particularly through workshops and conference presentations related to the SMART project. These contributions reflect trends in innovative teaching methods, diagnostic tools, and teacher support in mathematics education.

Professional Memberships and Service:

• Managing Director, Society for Mathematics Education (GDM), since 09/2023
• Member, Young Researchers' Representative Body, GDM, since 08/2023
• Deputy Staff Representative, DZLM Network, since 10/2021
• Member, Interdisciplinary Center for Educational Research (IZfB)
• Member, Center for Teacher Education (ZLB)

Fabian Rösken leads organizational efforts in academic communities, including the coordination of the 57th GDM Annual Conference (2022–2024). He advises and contributes to teacher education development through the DZLM and GDM, and has secured institutional roles in shaping early-career researcher representation. He has taught and coordinated university-level courses in arithmetic and algebra for prospective primary school teachers.

He is actively involved in research teams such as the SMART project and has been a consistent contributor to working groups in mathematics didactics. His leadership roles in GDM and DZLM highlight his integration into national networks for mathematics teacher education and educational research.
