Education / Early Mathematics Learning PhD Scholarship
Scholarship Description
A PhD scholarship in Education is available at the Centre for Research in Mathematics and Science Education (CRiMSE) in connection with an ARC Discovery project “Reconceptualising early mathematics learning: The role of pattern and structure”. Past research has shown that early awareness of pattern and structure is important for successful mathematics learning. Hence the Pattern and Structure Mathematics Awareness Program (PASMAP) has been developed. This project will focus on Kindergarten classes in two schools in Sydney and two schools in Brisbane to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of PASMAP, contributing to reconceptualisation of early mathematics learning. MQRES scholarships are available to domestic or international students. Applicants should have an Australian undergraduate degree with first class honours or equivalent (or research Masters). International students will receive tuition and compulsory health cover for the scholarship tenure.
