DMSTE publications & research projects : a catalogue of publications and research projects by members of the Department of Mathematics, Science & Technical Education within the Faculty of Education of the University of Malta

Abstract

This catalogue charts the past and present research and gives a direction for future initiatives. As such, it celebrates the past while looking at the future. Like the Maltese rubble wall, the catalogue stretches across different landscapes, is made up of unique pieces of stone all of different shapes and sizes, but as they come together they build a solid wall. As each stone (or each research project) is pieced together to shape the rubble wall, they join older stones (older research projects), building on without obscuring each other. And as the rubble wall is formed, it changes the landscape according to the different needs of the society that is building it. Like the changing face of the rubble wall, the catalogue is not a static historical record but a process of collective learning, the narrative of a research journey and the reflections of a departmental community of practice that continues to change and evolve through the academic conversations and research initiatives.
