About us
"Research and innovation in mathematics and science education"
CASTeL – the Centre for the Advancement of Science and Mathematics Teaching & Learning – is a multidisciplinary research team involving scientists, mathematicians and educationalists from Dublin City University (DCU) and St Patrick's College, Drumcondra (SPD).
The expertise of the members encompasses the science disciplines and mathematics, in addition to education. CASTeL’s research has the aim of improving the learning of science and mathematics at all levels of the educational system.
In addition to this research focus, CASTeL supports science and mathematics promotion activities in partnership with many local and national organisations, and specialised training and consultancy services for science and mathematics education are also available.
