Jeanne Koudogbo, PhD in mathematics didactics, is an associate professor in the Faculty of Education at the Université de Sherbrooke. She is a regular member of the Centre de recherche sur l'enseignement et l'apprentissage des sciences (CREAS) and of the editorial board of the journal Nouveaux Cahiers de la recherche en éducation. Her research focuses, on the one hand, on decimal positional numeration, an essential mathematical skill, to study the mechanisms of knowledge construction by students, teachers' practices, the aims of curricula and textbooks and their adequacy with educational issues; on the other hand, on teaching practices, current issues in mathematics teaching in various contexts (special needs class, special education and orthopedagogical context), as well as the development of mathematical potential in students with (or without) difficulties. Her other work, carried out in collaboration with researchers, deals with ways of helping students in difficulty to solve mathematical problems, as well as initial and in-service training.
