معرفی
Michiel Doorman is an Associate Professor of Mathematics Education and Academic Director at the Freudenthal Institute, Faculty of Science, Utrecht University. His research bridges mathematics education, STEM integration, and innovative pedagogical approaches, with a focus on context-based learning, mathematical modeling, and embodied design.
Research interests center on:
- Context-based mathematics education using real-world applications to enhance conceptual understanding.
- Inquiry-based learning across mathematics and science disciplines.
- Embodied cognition in mathematical reasoning, leveraging tools like augmented reality.
- STEM education reform, particularly in teacher training and curriculum design.
Recent publications emphasize technology-enhanced learning (e.g., augmented reality, Braille interfaces), cross-cultural studies in mathematics education, and responses to educational disruptions like COVID-19. A strong trend involves interdisciplinary work connecting mathematics with physics, sustainability, and special education.
As Academic Director of the Freudenthal Institute, he leads initiatives in mathematics education research and teacher professional development. He supervises graduate students and contributes to European STEM education projects.
