Mathematician Stéphanie van der Pas, the winner of the C.J. Kok Jury Award for her Ph.D. thesis in 2017, divides her time between research and education, and between pure mathematics and practical application.

This study looks at the question of how and at what level students in primary teacher education can integrate theory and practice, and how the organisation of their learning environment, focusing especially on mathematics and pedagogy, can contribute to that.

Mathematician Stéphanie van der Pas, winner of the C.J. Kok Jury Award for her PhD thesis in 2017, divides her time between research and education, and between pure mathematics and practical application.

PhD candidates carry out a programme of independent research, leading to a PhD thesis in typically 4 years.
