The post holder will contribute to the three and half year, Education Endowment Foundation funded project, which involves intervention delivery and research, in a Randomised Controlled Trial. Using intervention and mixed research methods, the project will explore effective practice in raising the achievement of secondary pupils with low prior attainment. The project is led by Prof Becky Francis with a team including Prof Jeremy Hodgen, Prof Louise Archer & Prof Paul Connolly. We are seeking to recruit an experienced practitioner researcher, ideally at Head of Subject level, with extensive secondary school experience and some expertise in social research. Experience of curriculum and/or CPD development and delivery, and expertise in issues around social identity and inequality, would be highly beneficial.

From anne.b.fuglestad at uia.no Sat Jun 14 08:46:19 2014 From: anne.b.fuglestad at uia.no (Anne Berit Fuglestad) Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2014 07:46:19 +0000 Subject: [Maths-Education] PhD fellowships in Mathematics Education in Kristiansand, Norway Message-ID: Kristiansand is situated at the south of Norway. Kristiansand is friendly and the university has a strong international milieu for mathematics education. So why not consider this as a possible place for PhD studies? The University of Agder invites applications for two PhD fellowships in Mathematics Education. The starting date is negotiable. At least one fellowship is within the Centre of Excellence for Education: Centre for Research Innovation and Coordination of Mathematics Teaching (MatRIC), and Department of Mathematical Sciences. The Centre's aim is to support and enrich teaching and learning mathematics in higher education, especially within 'user programmes' such as engineering, natural sciences, economics etc. and teacher education. Further information (in English) about the Centre can be found at www.uia.no/matric. The location of the position(s) within MatRIC is negotiable, but will either be at the Faculty of Engineering and Science at campus Kristiansand or campus Grimstad. The improvement of students' performance in mathematics at all levels is a national priority area to which it is hoped the research undertaken by the appointed fellow(s) will make an important contribution. The Centre is strongly connected to the international network of researchers of mathematics education at university level and the fellowship(s) will include substantial international visits meeting international leaders/researchers in the field. We are especially seeking research proposals that will lie within the scope of one or more of the Centre's current working groups: simulation; modeling; and teaching and learning using mathematics video tutorials (and blended learning approaches). It is the ambition of MatRIC to create and support a national network of researchers studying teaching and learning mathematics in higher education; the appointed fellow(s) will have an important part in the development of this network. At most one fellowship will be within the wider research area of the Mathematics Education Research Group at the University of Agder. Current research interests of the group include: * Mathematics teaching developmental research and classroom studies * Mathematical modeling * Teaching and learning mathematics from kindergarten to grade 13 * Mathematics in vocational education * Mathematics learning task design * Digital tools / ICT in mathematics teaching and learning The anticipated appointment of two new professors of Mathematics Education in the near future is likely to broaden the scope of research interests of the group.
