Bing Ngu is an Associate Professor in Mathematics Education at the School of Education, University of New England (UNE), Australia. She is a key contributor to the Faculty of Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences and Education, where she teaches secondary mathematics education and cognitive load theory at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Her research focuses on improving student learning through cognitive load theory, learning by analogy, and comparison, with applications in algebra, trigonometry, and percentage problems. BSc (Chemistry with Management Science) (Hons), Imperial College of Science and Technology, UK Ph.D. in Education, University of New South Wales, Australia Dr. Ngu's research centers on cognitive load theory and its application in mathematics instruction. She investigates how element interactivity influences learning complexity and instructional efficiency. Her work emphasizes learning by analogy and learning by comparison to enhance problem-solving skills in linear equations, trigonometry, and percentage-change problems. She also explores cross-cultural mathematics education and has collaborated with scholars from China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Bhutan. Recently, she has extended her research into life and death education , examining existential understanding and personal philosophization. Her recent publications (2022–2024) reflect a strong focus on instructional design , cognitive load , and problem-solving expertise . Themes include the role of diagrams, prior knowledge, and learner expertise in mathematical learning. Her work combines theoretical development with empirical validation, often using randomized classroom studies. She has contributed to advancing the theory of human optimization and has helped elevate UNE’s ERA profile in Educational Psychology to an internationally recognized level. Dr. Ngu has received no explicitly listed scientific awards, but her editorial role on the board of PLOS One underscores her academic standing. She actively mentors early-career researchers and students from diverse international backgrounds. She supervises research in instructional design , cognitive load theory , mathematics education , and student well-being . Her leadership in research and teaching has significantly contributed to curriculum development, including the Master of Neuroscience and Education program at UNE. She has secured research collaborations and funding through joint publications and international partnerships. Dr. Ngu is a member of the editorial board for PLOS One and collaborates within research networks focused on educational psychology and mathematics instruction. She is involved in professional development initiatives for teachers in Armidale and Malaysia, translating research into classroom practice.
