About
Annie Savard is a leading researcher in mathematics education, with a particular focus on how technology and robotics can transform student learning. Her work bridges cognitive complexity and classroom practice, exploring how robotics-based tasks reveal students’ mathematical thinking and problem-solving strategies. In her highly cited 2016 study, “Investigating Complexity to Assess Student Learning from a Robotics-Based Task” (26 citations), Savard developed frameworks to evaluate the rich, multi-layered learning that emerges when students engage with programmable robots. She has also made significant contributions to teacher professional development, as demonstrated in her 2015 paper “Teachers’ talk about Robotics: where is the Mathematics?” (12 citations), which examines how educators identify and capitalize on mathematical opportunities embedded in robotics activities. Savard’s research highlights the critical role of teacher discourse in unlocking the full potential of technology-enhanced learning environments. Her work has influenced curriculum design and assessment practices, offering practical insights for integrating computational thinking into mathematics classrooms. Through her scholarship, Savard continues to shape how researchers and educators understand the intersection of mathematics, technology, and student agency.
