Professor Gabriel Stylianides FAcSS

Gabriel Stylianides is Professor of Mathematics Education at the Department of Education and a Fellow of Worcester College. He is the convenor of the Subject Pedagogy Research Group and the Director of Doctoral Research.

Gabriel’s research focuses on issues related to designing and scaling-up effective classroom-based interventions in both school and teacher education settings. The aim of these interventions is to address issues of practice related to both cognitive and affective aspects of students’ (including preservice teachers’) engagement in the fundamental mathematical practices of mathematical reasoning, proving, problem solving, and algebraic thinking. In pursuing his primary research interests he also addressed issues related to task design and implementation, curricular resources (including textbooks), technological environments (including intelligent tutoring systems), and methodology (including design experiments and vignette design).

His research projects have been supported by various funding bodies: the US National Science Foundation (NSF), the US Institute of Educational Sciences (IES), the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), the Department for Education (DfE) in England, the Spencer Foundation, the Norwegian Research Council, and Oxford’s John Fell Fund.
