Plenary Talk
Christian Anderson - Malmö University
Zehavit Kohen - Technion - Israel Institute of Technology
Zehavit Kohen is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Education in Science and Technology at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and head of the Mathematics Teacher Education & Development (MtED) Lab. Her research expertise lies in mathematical modelling and its integration into STEM education, with a particular focus on authentic technological, scientific, and engineering applications. She investigates how modelling can support meaningful mathematics learning and how teachers can effectively design, implement, and facilitate modelling experiences across educational settings. Professor Kohen has led numerous large-scale research and development initiatives in mathematical modelling, including the nationwide i-MAT (Integrated Math & Technology) program, which has been incorporated into Israel’s national middle-school mathematics curriculum. Her work has contributed significantly to advancing modelling-based approaches to mathematics teaching, teacher education, and interdisciplinary STEM learning, particularly through the conceptualization and implementation of Structured Mathematical Modelling in authentic STEM contexts.I think it is better to lead to my lab website, which has much more information about my research activities.
