Dr. Jose M. Diego-Mantecón received his M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics education from Cambridge University (UK). He is currently working from University of Cantabria and he has large experience on developing and working on international projects. He was part of the Millennium Mathematics Project (MMP) of the University of Cambridge, which is directed by the theoretical physicist and mathematician John Barrow. As part of the MMP, Jose was responsible for several years of the Spanish version of the Maths Thesaurus Project; a thesaurus of school and undergraduate mathematics concepts across different languages.
Jose has an extensive background on the evaluation of comparative studies as well as on the design of methodological instruments for cross-cultural studies. In his research project he has developed a valid instrument to evaluated student mathematics-related beliefs in Mexico, Spain, Slovakia, Ireland, England, and Cyprus (Diego-Mantecón, 2013). Jose has collaborated TIMSS. He was the Spanish representative on a meeting of the project in Amsterdam (2012) for designing the mathematics items for TIMSS 2015. Jose led two European projects in the Spanish context: KIKS (Erasmus+) and STEMforYouth (Horizon2020). He is currently leading Mathematics EduLarp (Erasmus+) in Spain, and coordinator of STEAMTeach. Apart from the above, Jose works in several national projects in Spain which aim to reach education.
