Dr. Myrto Karavakou

Myrto Karavakou is a Post-doc Researcher

Myrto Karavakou is a graduate of the Department of Mathematics of National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) with specialization in Mathematics Education.
She completed her postgraduate studies in the inter-institutional MSc "Methodology of Mathematics and Mathematics Education" at NKUA in 2019, first in the grading scale of her year of study.
Since 2018 she is a member of the Educational Technology Lab.
She completed her PhD at the Department of Secondary Education, School of Philosophy, Department of Educational Studies, NKUA in 2024. Her dissertation is entitled " Aesthetic experiences of students when making sense of mathematical concepts: Constructing dancing figural models with digital programmable tools.".
Her research focuses on how high school students make sense of abstract mathematical concepts as they use them to express artistic ideas (linking dance movement to music) through digital programming tools.
She has actively participated in European research projects (EU Horizon, Erasmus+) focusing on educational technology, including, among others, the use of digital and emerging technologies for learning mathematics through the STEAM approach and "Game-Based Learning" of mathematics with digital games.
