Educate. Inspire. Shape.
Thorsten Scheiner is a researcher and educator in mathematics education and teacher education. His research focuses on complex phenomena in mathematical cognition and teacher cognition. He studies individuals' knowing, learning, and sense-making of mathematics as well as the interdependencies between teacher knowing and teacher noticing. He has been a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, before becoming a Research Fellow in the Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Education at ACU Brisbane in Australia.
