Rate My Professor Bruce White

Bruce White is an Adjunct Lecturer in Mathematics and Science Education at the University of Adelaide. Holding a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Diploma in Education (Dip. Ed.), he brings extensive experience from teaching secondary mathematics, science, and information technology to years 8-12 students. He has also collaborated with junior primary, primary, and adult educators, focusing on the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) into teaching and learning practices. Since 1990, White has been lecturing in teacher education at the University of South Australia.

His research specializations encompass pedagogical enhancements in STEM fields, investigating everything from the effects of modifying individual classroom tasks to harnessing student voice for comprehensive school-wide transformations. Primary academic interests include the application of ICT tools—such as dataloggers, graphics calculators, and the internet—in the instruction of science and mathematics within secondary schools. White has made significant contributions through numerous publications. Notable works include "Emerging pedagogies for the use of iPads in schools" (Geer, R., White, B. M., Zeegers, Y. P., Au, W., & Barnes, A., 2017, British Journal of Educational Technology); "Student Reflections on 360-Degree Video for Pseudo-Synchronous Collaborative Problem Solving in Online Mathematics Learning" (Albrecht, A., O’Keeffe, L., & White, B., 2025, Online Learning Journal, 29(4), 341-366); "Teacher's perceptions of pedagogical practices in innovative learning spaces" (Colton, J., O'Keeffe, L., Barry, G., White, B., & White, J., 2024, Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 32(3), 675-697); "Supporting Mathematics Pre-Service Teachers Reflection with 360degree Video and the Knowledge Quartet" (O'Keeffe, L., & White, B., 2022, Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 47(3), 57-71); "The STEM Crisis and Teacher Practice: Exploring Responses to the Competing Discursive Arrangements of Education in the Sciences in a Catholic School Setting" (Leonard, S. N., O'Keeffe, L., White, B., O'Leary, M., & Sloan, K., 2022, Education Sciences, 12(10), 709); and the book chapter contributions in "Teaching Secondary Mathematics" (Hine, G. et al., 2016, Cambridge University Press). Earlier publications feature "Email Reducing Stress for Student Teachers" (White, B., & Le Cornu, R., 2002, Education and Information Technologies, 7(4), 351-357) and "Using ICT to enhance curriculum opportunities for students in rural and remote schools" (White, B. M., 2010, Australian Educational Computing, 25(2), 27-30). These works underscore his impact on advancing technology-integrated pedagogies and teacher professional development in mathematics and science education.
