Project Title: Enhancement of research excellence in Mathematics Teacher Knowledge — MaTeK
Project Dates: 01.01.2021 - 31.12.2023
Responsibility: Scientific Coordinator
Mathematics has provided the foundations on which all science branches were built and developed. As such, mathematics is and will continue to be an important field of scientific research and education. This creates a need for more efficient and better trained mathematics teachers, a need which has not thus far been met. The EU-funded MaTeK project aims to change this. It will focus on developing and improving the Department of Mathematics Education of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Comenius University in Bratislava. The actions the project will take towards this goal will provide the department with the opportunity to improve their practice by cooperating with other successful mathematics departments in various other universities.

Project Title: Teaching Geometry using Technology Based on Argumentation
Project Dates: 17.05.2018 - 15.10.2019
Responsibility: Principal Investigator
This project focuses on teaching geometry using a technology based on argumentation. Through the actions of this project, mathematics preservice teachers are planned to improve their experience on argumentation and problem-solving by practicing to teach lessons that promote these skills.
Project Title: Developing Technology Based Instruction Sequences to Support Geometry Teaching of Mathematics Teacher Candidates
Project Dates: 27.05.2016 - 31.12.2016
Responsibility: Principal Investigator
This project focuses on designing instructional sequences that utilize technology for supporting preservice mathematics teachers teaching of geometry.
Project Title: Instructor Training Using Mixed Reality Technology
Project Dates: 01.09.2013 - 01.03.2016
Responsibility: Researcher
This project is aimed to train teachers in a virtual classroom environment against student avatars that are controlled using artificial intelligence. In this project, my team's responsibility is to create models to use in this environment to help teachers learn how to use technology in middle school mathematics lessons.
Project Title: Investigating problem-solving strategies of prospective teachers during their use of technology and hands-on materials
Project Dates: 01.01.2012 - 31.12.2014
Responsibility: Principal Investigator
This project is about understanding how prospective teachers use technology and hands on materials in solving geometry problems.
Project Title: Pictures Represent Opportunities For Inspiration in Technology (PROFIT)
Responsibility: Research Assistant
The PROFIT project is centered on the idea of introducing computer vision and imaging experience into the core curriculum of mathematics. It was designed as a novel model for training mathematics teachers to use pictorial IT, for transferring exciting, appealing modules into core curricula, and as a model for mentoring students through the last of their pre-collegiate years and attract them into IT-STEM careers. During the project our team created different modules with dynamic software programs for high school students to use in their mathematics lesson.
