Projects on Maths Teaching Anxiety and Secondary Teacher Recruitment Presented by Dr Rosalyn Hyde
In early November, Dr Rosalyn Hyde, had opportunities to share two recently completed project reports.
The first event on 5th November was the launch of the report ‘Teaching Maths with Confidence: Insights for Change, a policy document’ at the annual FutureEd25 ‘The Wellbeing Challenge’ conference in London. The event was organised by Learning Skills Research Foundation in association with the Chartered College of Teaching, National Numeracy and the Centre for Educational Neuroscience. Ros’ talk to launch the report was entitled ‘Exploring maths anxiety and maths teaching anxiety in teachers and trainee teachers’. The project was funded by the late Dame Shirley Conran through Learnus and The Maths Anxiety Trust and consisted of two studies with Ros working on one of them with Dr Rachel Stenhouse form Manchester Metropolitan university and Dr Liz Pope from Liverpool John Moores University to investigate maths anxiety and maths teaching anxiety in trainee teachers of mathematics. The full report is available from The Maths Anxiety Trust – Home
The following day Ros was in London again to present the findings of her project ‘Secondary mathematics teacher recruitment: An overview of the landscape across the four nations of the UK’ to the project funders, the Joint Mathematical Council for the United Kingdom. The work was then also presented at the British Society for Research into the Learning of Mathematics (BSRLM) on the 8th November at University of East Anglia, Norwich.
