Dr Jason Stanley

Jason is an Applied Mathematician specialsing in mathematics education utilising computing science. He has developed knowledge of transition education by researching how curriculum knowledge impacts both secondary and tertiary mathematics students. His research is critical to HSC performance and then first-year university success in the mathematical and statistical sciences. His work focuses on curriculum engagement, leveraging technology, AI, and ITS to support student learning. To focus engagement on high value curricula he developed the "6 things" paradigm, to help students consolidate knowledge and expand their mathematical and statistical skills.

With ever increasing numbers of students entering the tertiary sector with no calculus training, the heavy lifting is being passed on to universities. Jason’s programs stand necessary to convert candidates, to not only surviving, but thriving students of tertiary mathematics.

With a background in electronic systems engineering and Mathematics Extension 1/2 education, Jason has held leadership roles in both fields, including Chief Engineer in plant and manufacturing, capital projects, and Principal in a K-12 setting. His expertise bridges industry and education, keeping tertiary education relevant and driving student success through curriculum innovation.

Now as a tertiary academic, insights into learning mathematics continue, informed by practice and experience.
