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

- 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
