Lorenzo Castilla Mora

Lorenzo Castilla Mora serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Integrated Didactics within the Faculty of Education, Psychology and Sports Sciences at the University of Huelva. His academic profile centers on mathematics and statistics education, with specialized expertise in developing probabilistic reasoning frameworks for educators and designing innovative teaching methodologies for uncertainty concepts.

His doctoral research at the University of Huelva (2017) examined Spanish financial sector perceptions post-crisis using fuzzy cognitive mapping, supervised by Dr. David Castilla Espino and Dr. Juan José García del Hoyo. This work reflects his interdisciplinary approach bridging quantitative methods with social science applications.

Castilla Mora's research trajectory reveals three interconnected strands: (1) teacher knowledge development in probability and statistics, evidenced by cross-cultural studies with Slovakian educators; (2) digital pedagogy innovation through platforms like Moodle, eTwinning, and Scientix for STEAM integration; and (3) curriculum adaptation to European educational frameworks. His publications consistently address practical classroom implementation challenges while advancing theoretical foundations in mathematics didactics.

His scholarly output demonstrates evolving focus from financial cognition and migration studies (2006-2010) toward concentrated expertise in statistical pedagogy since 2011, with recent work emphasizing teacher training for probabilistic reasoning (2021-2023). This progression highlights increasing specialization in mathematics education while maintaining methodological rigor from his quantitative social science background.

He actively contributes to research groups HUM168 (Teacher Development) and SEJ329 (MEMPES-AEA), focusing on collaborative projects that translate theoretical frameworks into practical educational tools. His current work integrates digital solutions with cognitive theory to address persistent challenges in statistics education.
