- PhD
Research Interests: Dr Witt's research focuses on the role of personality in learning, particularly supporting quieter or more introverted and anxious children in mathematics education. He investigates maths anxiety in children and pre-service teachers, mathematical cognition, and the impact of working memory on mathematical learning. His doctoral study explored the possibility of low-tech, low-budget working memory training to support gains in children's mathematical learning. Additional interests include primary mathematics pedagogy and enhancing school placements for trainee teachers.
Scientific Awards: None mentioned.
Advising and Grants: Dr Witt coordinates the primary mathematics team and works with pre-service teachers on both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. He has written two books aimed at trainee or early career teachers to support them in teaching primary mathematics. No specific research grants are detailed in the provided text.
Labs and Teams: He coordinates the primary mathematics team at UWE.
