Constantinos Xenofontos

About

I am associate professor of mathematics education at the Department of Primary and Secondary Teacher Education. I hold a BA in education sciences (University of Cyprus, in Cyprus), a master's and a PhD in mathematics education (University of Cambridge, UK), and a PgCert in educational leadership (University of Leicester, UK). I have previously worked as an academic at the University of Nicosia (Cyprus) and the University of Stirling (Scotland, UK). I have also worked as a school teacher in Cyprus.

My research interests focus on mathematics teacher education (both initial teacher education and continuous professional development). In my work, I adopt sociocultural and sociopolitical perspectives, to investigate mathematics teachers' beliefs, knowledge, and practices.
