Monte Meyerink serves as Assistant Professor of Mathematics Education at Northern State University since 2022, concurrently directing the NSU Math Clinic. His instructional portfolio spans undergraduate mathematics education courses (MATH 341/342, ELED 330/495), education foundations (EDFN 102/440/475), and graduate research methodology (EDER 761), drawing from 12+ years of classroom experience across grades 5-16.
Education:
- Ph.D., Montana State University
- M.S.Ed., Northern State University
- B.S.Ed., Northern State University
Dr. Meyerink's research program centers on mathematics teacher preparation, with emphases on technology integration in K-8 mathematics instruction, problem-based digital lesson design, and cross-cultural comparisons of mathematical thinking. His investigations examine how pre-service teachers develop technological pedagogical content knowledge and implement interactive learning environments, while extending to rural educational contexts through studies on STEM enrollment patterns and administrator stress.
Recent publications (2019-2023) reveal consistent focus on practical applications for teacher education programs, featuring collaborations with international researchers and statewide data analyses. The work demonstrates methodological diversity through qualitative examinations of teacher perspectives, cross-national comparative studies, and quantitative analyses of educational pathways.
