Theodosia Prodromou

Dr Theodosia Prodromou is a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics Education at the School of Education, Faculty of Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences and Education, University of New England (UNE), Australia. She joined UNE in July 2009 and has been actively involved in teaching, research, and leadership in technology-integrated mathematics education. She is the Chair of the GeoGebra Institute in Australia and at UNE, promoting the use of digital tools in teaching.

Her qualifications include a PhD in Mathematics Education from the University of Warwick, UK, a Master of Science in Statistics (Warwick), a Postgraduate DipTeach in Secondary Mathematics Education (University of Cyprus), and a Bachelor of Mathematics (Hons) from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. She also holds a Graduate Certificate in Tertiary Education from UNE.

Dr Prodromou’s research focuses on the integration of digital technologies in mathematics and statistics education. Key areas include statistical literacy, big data in education, augmented reality, informal inferential reasoning, and professional development for pre-service and in-service teachers. She explores how tools like GeoGebra and Tinkerplots enhance student understanding of probability and data analysis.

Her recent publications reflect a strong trend toward technology-mediated learning, data visualization, and innovative pedagogies in STEM education. She frequently publishes on students’ reasoning about probability, sampling, and large-scale data, often using simulations and modeling approaches. Her work bridges cognitive development with practical classroom applications.

• Unit Monitoring Commendation for EDME931 (2013)
• Unit Monitoring Commendation for EDUC 321 (2011)
• Tony Adams Award (IEAA, 2015) for research on curriculum internationalization through technology

Dr Prodromou has secured several research grants, including an EU-Hungarian funded project (GeoMatech, $10M USD), UNE internal grants, and international travel support. She actively supervises postgraduate research and welcomes PhD and Master’s candidates. Her work involves international collaborations, particularly in European and cross-cultural educational projects. She leads initiatives such as the UNE Indigenous STEM Program (“Switched On”), aiming for equity in mathematics education.

She is affiliated with the GeoGebra Institute at UNE, where she leads efforts to integrate dynamic mathematics software into teacher training and classroom practice. Her team focuses on developing and evaluating technology-enhanced curricula for K–12 and higher education contexts.
