Thomais Karavi

Thomais Karavi is a Research Fellow at Eindhoven University of Technology working within the Group Schüler-Meyer. Her academic work centers on mathematics education research, specifically examining proof teaching practices in university-level mathematics instruction.

Her research focuses on Proof Teaching and Mathematical Discourse through a Commognitive Approach, investigating how lecturers structure analysis courses and facilitate student participation in mathematical reasoning. Key areas include proving routines, metarules governing classroom discourse, and the relationship between lecturers' professional identities and teaching practices in introductory university mathematics.

Analysis of her publications (2020-2025) reveals consistent investigation into discourse patterns in proof-based lectures, with emphasis on opportunities for student learning, connections within mathematical proofs, and identity formation in mathematics educators. Her work predominantly examines first-year analysis courses using qualitative case study methodologies.

She is actively affiliated with the Group Schüler-Meyer at Eindhoven University of Technology, contributing to mathematics education research through empirical studies of university lecture practices.
