Biography

Martin Schmude has been a member of the Mathematics/Science/Information Technology/PDHPE Teaching and Research Group since 2007. Within this group, he specializes in Mathematics education. He completed his PhD thesis in 2016, which considered preservice teachers attitudes and mindsets towards mathematics education. Prior to his position as a lecturer, he qualified as a high school Mathematics teacher and worked in both private and public schools in NSW. It was during this time that sparked his keen interest in helping people learn and teach mathematics through exploration, technology and attention to affect. Martin has created apps which aim to inspire students in mathematics and help teachers with resources to extend their strengths in teaching mathematics. He is currently involved in a HEPPP retention project that aims to help other academics at UNE further support their students' learning experience at UNE.
