After
completing my Diploma in Secondary Teaching from the then University
of Papua New Guinea (PNG), Goroka Teachers College, I taught at a number
of secondary schools in PNG before going on to further studies at UPNG
obtaining my Bachelor of Education degree majoring in Mathematics. I
joined the UPNG Goroka Campus (now the University of Goroka) as a senior
tutor and completed my Masters degree in Mathematics Education with
strong emphasis in Ethnomathematics from Queensland University of Technology.
I am currently the foundation Coordinator of Glen Lean Ethnomathematics
Centre (GLEC) a research centre devoted to promoting the indigenous
ethnomathematical knowledge for its academic, educational and cultural
values. I have presented a number of papers on ethnomathematics in conferences
both internationally and within PNG with a couple of those conference
papers published in two Pacific regional journals. My areas of research
interests include Ethnomathematics and Mathematical development in PNG,
Mathematics Education, Primary and Secondary Mathematics curriculum
development and reform, Learning difficulties in mathematics and Mathematical
cognition. |
