Summary
Claire joined Ï㽶ÊÓƵ in 2011 and is the Teaching and Learning Portfolio Lead for the Department of Engineering and Mathematics. Claire's research area is teaching and learning pedagogy. She is innovative in her teaching methods and received a Vice-Chancellor's teaching award in 2010.
About
Claire joined the Department of Engineering and Mathematics at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ in 2011 after completing a PhD at the University of York in Semigroup Theory. Having also done an MSc in Applied Mathematics, she is interested in a wide range of mathematical topics.
Claire has a national and international reputation for her teaching and learning pedagogic research. Claire’s interest in student views of mistake-making led to her creating an international Psychology of Mathematics Education research cluster.
Claire is the Teaching and Learning Portfolio Lead for the Department of Engineering and Mathematics. She organises Departmental seminars, coordinates development sessions and co-leads Ideas Exchanges with La Trobe University. Claire has previously been the Acting Subject Group Leader for the Mathematics Subject Group (2018-2020) and the Course Leader for BSc Mathematics (2015-2018)
Claire uses a variety of innovative teaching, learning and assessment approaches to make her practice inclusive. These include the use of Rubik’s cubes to teach abstract concepts, whiteboards for group work and video assignments. In 2010, Claire received a vice-chancellor's teaching award at the Department of Mathematics at the University of York whilst doing her PhD.
