Re-energising maths education
There has been a massive drop in the number of advanced mathematics students in the last decade, accompanied by poor results across all school years.
Dr Elena Prieto-Rodriguez believes this has significant implications for Australia's ability to produce the next generation of engineers, physicists, chemists and software engineers – the innovators we need to skill Australia into the future.
An expert in theoretical computer science and mathematics education from the University of Newcastle's School of Education, Prieto-Rodriguez is on a mission to shape the next generation of mathematics teachers so they can re-energise Australia's mathematics education.
"Mathematics is essential in engineering and science degrees, and we know there is a shortage of students taking these subjects in Australia," said Prieto-Rodriguez.
"Somehow we have to convey the relevance of maths to students, to show them how important this is if you want to be an innovator."
She is currently engaged in the Inspiring Mathematics and Science in Teacher Education (IMSITE) project. This cross-institutional study involves six Australian universities that are looking at the training of pre-service maths teachers in a bid to engage more students to continue in their mathematics education.
The hope is that these teachers will be able to convey to students not only the beauty of mathematics, but its relevance to other subjects and future career paths.
"The other issue is that maths is very difficult, so we need teachers who are really proficient, not just at a secondary level but also in primary," said Prieto-Rodriguez.

Having recently developed a suite of online courses for maths teachers, which enable better interaction with online instructors, her research has found that blended teaching is more successful if it offers discussion forums.
Prieto-Rodriguez's interest in maths education started during her undergraduate years, and she spent 18 months training maths teachers in a bullet-marked university in El Salvador before moving to Canada to commence a postgraduate degree in computer science.
Being an expert in theoretical computer science as well as mathematics education has huge advantages. She is able to understand and impart the value of computational thinking in modern teaching. Prieto-Rodriguez believes computer science is about much more than programming – it's about imagination and innovation.
"Every time you google or use your smartphone, you run algorithms that were designed using computational thinking, which is a particular way of thinking about how to implement ideas with hardware or software," said Prieto-Rodriguez.
"Many people don't understand the work behind the internet, and we're trying to introduce this into the curriculum at a primary and secondary level all over the world."
Her expertise in computational thinking has led to several projects, which are partly funded by Google, to engage school teachers and students and fill gaps in Australia's skill base.
For example, she ran a series of professional development workshops for teachers that aimed to promote computer science and provide the skills and resources necessary to teach it. A major sticking point, she found, was that most teachers did not fully understand what computational thinking was – believing it to be solely about programming.She has also worked with two local schools in Newcastle to take part in Code.org, an international not-for-profit initiative involving 45 million students worldwide that aims to introduce computer science into schools.

I was the on-site coordinator of a Masters program in Mathematics Education. In 2000 I commenced a postgraduate degree in Computer Science at The University of Victoria, Canada. Shortly after, I was offered a scholarship to study a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Newcastle, Australia. I started my doctoral studies in September 2001, completing a PhD in Theoretical Computer Science in 2005. This was followed by post-doctoral appointments in Bioinformatics and as a research fellow in the Australian Research Council Linkage project Engineering Choices, Engineering Futures.
In 2012 I was appointed Lecturer at the School of Education of the University of Newcastle. I am have been the Program Convenor of the Bachelor of Teaching Secondary Mathematics, a the Master of Education and I am currently Deputy Head of School for Teaching and Learning. I am a member of the Teachers and Teaching Research Centre, where I co-lead the Mathematics Education Group.
If you are a prospective PhD/Masters student and you are interested STEM Education, please email me.
Research ExpertiseMy research interests in STEM education range from determining factors contributing to school-aged awareness of STEM to quality teaching in online and blended environments in higher education. I am very interested in the effects of mathematical relevance in secondary education learning. In particular, I am currently engaged in understanding computational thinking, and how it can be used for the learning of mathematics.
Teaching Expertise
Since 2012 I teach courses on Mathematics Pedagogy (Core and Specialist Studies) and Curriculum Studies in Mathematics. From 2000 to 2011, I taught courses on Theory of Computation, Advanced Algorithms, Computer Networks, Introduction to Software Engineering and Formal Languages and Automata both at the University of Newcastle, Australia and the University of Victoria, Canada. Prior to 2000 I taught at high school level in Spain, El Salvador and England.
Administrative Expertise
From January to December 2011 I was the Centre Manager for the Priority Research Centre for Bioinformatics, Biomarker Discovery and Information-Based Medicine.
Collaborations
I have a long history of international research collaboration with colleagues in the area of Computer Science. In this capacity, I was invited to work with colleagues in universities in England, Norway, Germany, Canada and Spain. In Education, I have collaborated with academics from many disciplines: Engineering, Education, Science, Mathematics. I believe that interactions across disciplinary boundaries will make education a richer experience at all levels.

[more] While international research has demonstrated that ability grouping is inequitable, Australian research has often overlooked equity concerns, predominantly focusing on studying the benefits of grouping for students perceived to have high ability, especially in mathematics. This paper investigates the effect that mathematics ability grouping has on senior secondary mathematics participation for low and middle grouped students in New South Wales, Australia. We drew on interviews about mathematics participation with 85 students and 22 mathematics teachers from 11 government high schools. Our thematic analysis of these data identified that secondary school grouping practices often serve to entrench student interest and/or performance from primary school. This has consequences for many students, with a differentiated curriculum in Years 9 and 10 precluding low and middle grouped students from participating in high-level mathematics when they reach senior secondary school. These findings raise serious equity questions about the current push in Australia for universities to re-introduce high-level mathematics as a prerequisite to entering certain degrees. We argue that stakeholders need greater awareness of the consequences of ability grouping and that those seeking to lift post-compulsory mathematics participation should be targeting primary and early secondary school.

A significant corpus of literature on female underrepresentation has emerged in the past 20 years, however, many of those studies focus on educational access and retention and not many look at the lived experiences of women after they have left higher education. In this article, we take a different stance and explore the heterogeneous experiences of female STEM professionals in regional Australia. Through the qualitative analysis of 25 interviews, we learn what women have endured, accepted, and valued on their individual STEM journeys. While these journeys are often quite different, our interviewees independently reported having experienced similar societal prejudices and possessing similar personality traits. Our data reveals that resilience and determination proved vital for these women, as did a strong early interest in STEM. Our interviews also unearth issues in which women¿s opinions are fiercely divided, such as whether positive discrimination has been a barrier or an enabler for their careers. Based on what we have learnt from their accounts, we argue that these women have ¿survived¿ their work environments despite structural barriers, only due to their determination, resilience and fervent interest.

[more] Girls¿ underrepresentation in high-level post-compulsory mathematics is a longstanding issue of concern in many Western nations, with innumerable efforts to increase their participation producing little impact. In this paper, we shed new light on girls¿ underrepresentation through a post-structural feminist investigation of mathematics teachers¿ discursive constructions of high-level senior secondary mathematics students. Our analysis of semi-structured interviews with 22 Australian mathematics teachers revealed gendered views that serve to exclude many students from the high-level mathematics student category. Most concerning was their recurring naturalised construction of successful high-level mathematics students as endowed with the right, invariably male, brain. In so doing, teachers repeatedly closed off the possibility of success to those lacking such a ¿mathematics gift¿, effectively ¿counting girls out¿. We argue that increasing girls¿ participation in mathematics requires moving beyond current efforts to raise female interest and confidence to, more profoundly, disrupt enduring discourses of male superiority in mathematics.

Teaching these new skills presents a challenge for many teachers. A notable example of professional development designed using Constructionist principles to address this challenge is ScratchEd. Upon reflecting on her experiences designing and running ScratchEd, Karen Brennan identified five tensions faced by professional development providers, and proposed that these tensions could be used for scrutinising and critiquing professional development. In this paper we analyse, through the lens of Brennan's tensions, the process we have followed to design, evaluate and improve professional development. We argue that while we have experienced the same tensions, the extent to which we assess learning is a new tension that extends those identified by Brennan. There are strong reasons to assess teachers' knowledge, however, quantitative measures of learning could be at odds with Constructionism: as Papert argued in Mindstorms, constructionist educators should study their learning environments as anthropologists. Consequently, we have called this new tension the tension between anthropology and assessment.

There exists a need to understand the examination process to ensure the best quality outcome for candidates in engineering. The work we present in this paper uses data collected between 2003 and 2010 for a total of 1220 Australian Ph.D. theses by analysing examiner reports. Our analysis indicates that Ph.D. theses in engineering, N = 106, differ considerably from those in other fields in areas such as gender of candidates and examiners and the examiners¿ geographical location. We also found that assessment areas such as significance and contribution of the thesis, publications arising from the thesis, breadth, depth and recency of the literature review and communication and editorial correctness are areas in which the proportion of text of engineering examiners' comments differs significantly from other fields.
