Philemon Chigeza

Dr Philemon Chigeza is broadly interested in representation and systems of representation in mathematics education in physical, blended and virtual learning spaces.

Philemon’s earlier research focused on developing capacity building pedagogies that affirm students’ lived languages, experiences and knowledge in their learning. His work explores the notion of agency and students’ negotiation of language and culture in mathematics and science classrooms.

Much of his present research is focused on Mathematics Wellbeing and emerging technology-based curriculum innovation designed to enhance engagement and learning, particularly for blended and virtual spaces. Philemon is also passionate about issues of environmental sustainability and how schools, electronic media and the home can be productively used to work towards a more sustainable and just society.
