Mathilde BioÌý

Mathilde has been teaching Math for ten years at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ. Before that, she completed her education in mathematics (PhD) in Europe, where she taught from Secondary School level to University level, for more than ten years. There, she became acquainted with the International Baccalaureate Program and is now an assistant examiner and team leader for Math Analysis and Approaches higher-level examination.Ìý

At Dawson, she has taught calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics, as well as remedial mathematics for secondary 4 and 5 and a mathematics course in the Electronics Engineering Technology program. She is a teaching assistant at Université de Montréal, and is completing a PhD in Math education there. In her research project, she studies the practices around the use of the derivative (a mathematical object introduced in differential calculus) in a kinematics context (study of motion, where the derivative is used, among others, to describe the velocity and acceleration), both in the calculus and the mechanics course. She also initiated a PAREA collaborative research project, which aim is to monitor and improve the implementation of a paired differential calculus and mechanics course at Dawson.Ìý

Mathilde is passionate about education. In Winter 2014, she was a Writing in the Disciplines fellow, and she joined the Dawson Active Learning Community in 2016. She became a fellow in the Winter 2020 semester. Drawing on her research background and the Dawson Active Learning Community support, she aspires to include more meaningful active learning activities in her courses (both at Dawson and University), and hopes to find a good balance between a teacher- and learner-centred approach. Inspired by the paired calculus mechanics and calculus course and the enriching exchanges with teachers of other disciplines within the Dawson Active Learning community, her next project might be another calculus paired course.
