Dr. Chelsea Cutting is a Senior Lecturer at the University of South Australia's UniSA Education Futures, based in Mt Gambier. She specializes in mathematics education, spatial reasoning, and early childhood learning. Her research focuses on frameworks for activating prior knowledge, spatial reasoning's role in fraction understanding, and play-based STEM education. She serves as a Research Degree Supervisor and collaborates with institutions like the STEM Education Research Centre (SERC) and the Centre for Change and Complexity in Learning (C3L).
Research Interests:
- Spatial reasoning in mathematics learning
- Early childhood fraction concepts
- Play-based learning frameworks
- Technology-enhanced education (e.g., virtual makerspaces)
- Educational progressions and assessment
Recent Work Trends: Her articles emphasize integrating spatial reasoning into mathematics education and leveraging play and technology to enhance STEM capabilities in young learners. Collaborative projects include evaluating the impact of tools like Makers Empire 3D design software on spatial skills and attitudes.
