Liping Ding
About
Liping Ding is associate professor within the Department of Teacher Education, NTNU.
Liping Ding specialises in Mathematics Education, in particular teachers' collaborative learning and working through mathematics lesson study and students/teachers' attitude research. Liping's publication includes book chapters, journal articles, and research reports.
Liping began her career with a teacher qualification in primary education in Shanghai, China and took her first teaching post in a middle school in Shanghai in 1993. She completed her undergraduate degree in mathematics from East China Normal University, China in 2000. She went to England to pursue her Master study and completed PhD in mathematics education in University of Southampton, UK in 2008. She then developed her expertise in comparative research of mathematics classroom through her Postdoctoral Fellowship in Massey University, New Zealand from 2008 to 2010.
Liping has been an invited participant in the International Commission on Mathematics Instruction (ICMI) Study 19 on proof and proving in mathematics education, the ICMI Study 21 on task design in mathematics education and the ICMI Study 25 on teachers of mathematics working and learning in collaborative groups. She is also a reviewer for a number of scientific journals in mathematics education. She led a mathematics lesson design study through the school-based teacher professional development program in Shanghai Soong Ching Ling School, China (2013-2015).
For Liping, a particular attraction of Trondheim is being able to go for skiing in the winter and go for kayaking and hiking in the summer. She finds the city a lovely place to live and work, with fjord, forest, historic towns, and country farms all within easy reach.
