Maike Hagena

Prof. Dr. Maike Hagena serves as University Professor for Inclusive Mathematics Education at the Institute for Special Education within the Faculty of Philosophy, Leibniz University Hannover since September 2024. Previously, she held a Junior Professorship (tenure-track) at the same institution (November 2023-September 2024) and academic roles at the University of Hamburg, University of Osnabrück, Leuphana University Lüneburg, and University of Kassel.

Her academic qualifications include:

• Doctorate (2017) from University of Kassel's Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences under Prof. Dr. Borromeo Ferri, Prof. Dr. Schwippert, and Prof. Dr. Blum
• First state examination (2010) for primary/secondary teaching in mathematics/history at University of Hamburg
• Second state examination (2019) for primary mathematics education at Lüneburg Teacher Training College

Hagena's research centers on inclusive mathematics pedagogy, specifically teacher professionalization for heterogeneous classrooms, competency-oriented instructional design, and early mathematical skill assessment. Her work bridges special education methodologies with mathematics didactics to address diverse learner needs in mainstream educational settings.

Professional experience spans academic research (University of Hamburg, Osnabrück, Kassel), teacher training (Lüneburg), and practical classroom instruction (Altenmedingen Primary School). Current research projects focus on inclusive mathematics teaching frameworks, though specific grant details remain unlisted in source materials.
