Dr Cristina Mio

  • Senior Lecturer in Mathematics Education (Pedagogy, Praxis & Faith)

Biography

Cristina Mio, Senior Lecturer in Mathematics Education (LTS)

Cristina has a PhD and a Master’s in Chemical Engineering from the “Università di Padova”, Italy.  After working as a researcher in chemical engineering in the US, at UC Berkeley and the Colorado School of Mines, and in the UK, at UMIST in Manchester, she completed a PGCE in Secondary Mathematics at the University of Manchester. 

Her teaching experience spans from lower secondary to A-level courses, from further education to higher education/university.  She taught Mathematics in Loreto Sixth Form College in Manchester (England), in South Lanarkshire College in East Kilbride (Scotland) and at the Open University.  From 2014 to 2018 Cristina was a teaching associate in the Chemical and Process Engineering Department at the University of Strathclyde, where she taught face-to-face and distance-learning undergraduate course, supervised undergraduate design projects and postgraduate research projects, and was Academic-Year Coordinator for first-year chemical engineering students. 

She has worked as a Lecturer in Mathematics Education (Initial Teacher Education) at the School of Education, University of Glasgow, since January 2019. She is currently joint programme leader for the Post-Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE).

Research interests

  • Approaches to learning (deep/surface) in Mathematics and Engineering in Higher Education
  • Students’ autonomy and self-regulation in group projects in chemical engineering
  • The use of peer-assessment in large classes to increase students’ motivation
  • How teachers’ attitudes and approaches towards maths influence students’ confidence, motivation and belief about mathematics
  • Teachers’ pedagogical subject knowledge in Mathematics
  • Teacher Educator's identity

Supervised MSc Master's, MEd Master's and MEduc Master's students' dissertations in a range of topics, e.g.,:

  • Maths anxiety in middle-school aged pupils
  • Comparison of how English is taught traditional Chinese schools and in Singaporean-style schools in China
  • The use of a flipped classroom approach for international students learning English as a second language
  • How effective are mobile apps in Chinese education
  • University students' view on formative assessment and feedback 
  • The role of the educator in learning through play in an early years' classroom
  • How does using e-books affect a child's reading ability?

 

Teaching

My main teaching interest is Mathematics Education and Teacher Education.  

I am the course leader of the "Curriculum, Pedagogies and Practice in the Primary and Secondary" course (PGDE Programme). 

At present, I am teaching the following courses:

  • Primary Mathematics Education (MEduc Year 3 and Year 4)
  • PGDE Curriculum, Pedagogies and Practice - Primary Mathematics
  • PGDE Curriculum, Pedagogies and Practice - Secondary Mathematics 
  • PGDE Research and Enquiry-led Learning and Teaching  

I have also been involved in the delivery of these courses:

  • What if...?  (MEduc Year 2)
  • Education and Society (MEduc Year 2)
  • Education in Practice (MEduc Year 5)
