Speaker

Prof. Dr. Dor Abrahamson - UC Berkeley

Professor of Secondary Mathematics Education in the Area of Cognition and Development, UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education

Dor Abrahamson (PhD, Learning Sciences) is Professor of Learning Sciences and Human Development at the Graduate School of Education, University of California Berkeley, where he runs the Embodied Design Research Laboratory (https://edrl.berkeley.edu). A design-based researcher of mathematics cognition, teaching, and learning, Abrahamson develops and evaluates theoretical models of diverse students’ conceptual learning by analyzing empirical data collected in technological implementations of his innovative pedagogical design. Abrahamson and collaborators use mixed multimodal analytic methodologies to investigate the emergence of mathematical concepts from perceptual forms that facilitate sensorimotor coordination. Drawing on enactivist philosophy, dynamic systems theory, and sociocultural views, Abrahamson theorizes conceptual learning as students’ guided reconciliation of perceptually immediate and culturally mediated constructions of situated phenomena.
