NURIA ANGELES CLIMENT RODRIGUEZ

Nuria Angeles Climent Rodriguez is a University Professor in the Department of Integrated Didactics at the Faculty of Education, Psychology and Sports Sciences, University of Huelva. Her academic career centers on mathematics education with specialized focus on teacher development and inclusive pedagogical strategies. She leads research within the HUM168 group 'Initial Training and Professional Development of Teachers (DESYM)' and contributes to the Research Center on Contemporary Thought and Innovation for Social Development.

Her research interests span mathematics education, teacher professional development, special educational needs (particularly autism spectrum disorders), problem-posing in early education, and curriculum design. She investigates how teachers develop specialized didactic knowledge (MTSK model), with emphasis on cognitive demands in classroom tasks and inclusive strategies for diverse learners. Her work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical classroom applications, especially in early childhood and primary education contexts.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals strong thematic focus on teacher knowledge development, inclusive mathematics education for students with autism, and problem-posing/task design in early education. Her research demonstrates consistent application of the MTSK (Mathematics Teacher’s Specialized Knowledge) model across diverse educational contexts and populations. She maintains active international collaboration, evidenced by multilingual publications and inter-institutional self-study projects.

Through her leadership in the HUM168 research group and contributions to the Research Center on Contemporary Thought, she has established significant collaborative networks focused on teacher development and educational innovation. Her work with teacher trainers and cross-institutional partnerships demonstrates commitment to systemic improvement in mathematics education through reflective practice and knowledge mobilization.
