| Jennifer Symonds is Associate Professor of Education at the School of Education, University College Dublin. Jennifer’s Engagement in Learning, Schools and Societies research lab (www.elsslab.com) seeks to understand how individuals construct, experience, and sustain their engagement in various activities in childhood and across the lifespan. Jennifer is Director of Research on the Doctorate in Educational Psychology programme, where she teaches systematic literature reviewing for doctoral theses and publication. Jennifer has lectured in systematic literature reviewing in Ireland, the UK, and Norway and looks forward to virtually visiting Austria to share her techniques. | Konstantinos Tatsis is an Associate Professor in Mathematics and Didactics of Mathematics at the Department of Primary Education of the University of Ioannina in Greece. His research interests include the analysis of verbal interactions during collaborative problem solving and problem posing. Additionally, he is interested in the analysis of sociological factors that affect mathematical learning. He has been an ERME Board member from 2015 to 2021 and has also been involved in the organisation of activities focused on young researchers’ development (YERME day, YESS summer schools). He is the Director of the Mathematics Teaching Research Laboratory (MathLab), which is based in Ioannina (Greece) and supports teachers’ professional development concerning mathematics in primary school. |
