Biography of Dr. Angelina M. Bijura
Angelina is an applied mathematician with more than 30 years teaching experience. She started her career as a college tutor at Mpwapwa Teachers’ College in Dodoma, Tanzania. She then went on to do higher education and obtained her PhD (applied mathematics) in 1999 at Dublin City University, Ireland.
Among the universities that Angelina taught applied mathematics include University of Dar es Salaam – Tanzania, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford and New York University in London – England. She has authored several papers and one book chapter in the areas of “singularly perturbed Volterra integral equations” and “fractional calculus”. She holds teaching qualifications from Tanzania (B.Sc. Education) and from the UK (Qualified Teacher Status).
Her research interests in mathematics education are: using ICT in teaching and learning mathematics; assessment in mathematics; and mathematical thinking. She creates and shares mathematics learning videos, with interested teachers and students. Recently, she worked as an assistant professor at the Aga Khan University, Institute for Educa6onal Development, East Africa (AKU-IED). At AKU-IED, Angelina taught and supervised mathematics and science educa6on students under the master of education programme. She was also involved in various outreach (AKU) projects including offering short courses and certificate courses to Early Years’ teachers in the southern regions of Tanzania.
Mrs Bijura led a Science and Mathematics Research Interest Group while at AKUIED, the team that initiated and succeeded to establish the East Africa Mathematics Education and Research Network (EAMERN). She is the current secretary of the Network. Angelina is a married mother of two who is now the school manager at Inspire Secondary School, Kibaha. She created a mathematics club at the school where students at Inspire and outside Inspire meet weekly for out of class mathematics sessions.
These are sessions where students share learning experiences, solve puzzles and learn mental mathematics – the kind of mathematics that they hardly experience in their classrooms. Angelina’s mission is to inspire as many young people as possible into enjoying the process of learning mathematics and eventually mastering the subject.
