Natividad Adamuz-Povedano

Natividad Adamuz-Povedano graduated in Physics from the University of Córdoba (2009) and obtained her PhD in Education with international mention in the University of Córdoba in 2016. The first stage of her research career has been focused on the analysis of the scientific production of Mathematical Education in its various channels of dissemination, mainly through articles, doctoral theses and books. This first stage culminated in her doctoral thesis. After the presentation of her doctoral thesis, her research career is focused on lines of work more typical of Mathematical Education, specifically on the development of number sense and the use of manipulative materials in the first years of learning, of which two contributions are presented in book form. In the line of work Ethnomathematics, which covers the social and cultural dimension of mathematics, in the development of computational thinking through the use of Scratch and, finally, in the line of embodiment cognition, the result of her research stays at the Educational and Social Research Institute of Manchester Metropolitan University. The result of this research career is 25 articles, 5 books, 24 book chapters and 63 contributions to conferences, 7 of them as guest lectures.
