Rate My Professor Jasmine Ng

Jasmine Ng is a Lecturer in the AU Pathways and Participation at Adelaide University, where she serves as the course coordinator and lecturer for Introduction to Algebra (MATH1060), a level 1 undergraduate course owned by AU Pathways and Participation. She also instructs tutorials for Numeracy and Problem Solving (MATH1036) at Adelaide City Campus West, specifically for students in Foundation Studies, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pathway Programs, and legacy UniSA undergraduate certificate and diploma programs. Jasmine Ng adopts context-based learning approaches to actively engage students in mathematics, enabling them to make sense of numbers and experience meaningful learning.

Born in Malaysia in 1968, Jasmine Ng earned her Master of Education from Universiti Sains Malaysia in 1997. She commenced her career as a mathematics and science teacher in secondary schools in Malaysia, followed by a position as mathematics lecturer at the Institute of Teacher Education in Malaysia. In South Australia, she taught mathematics at TAFE and the Foundation Studies program at Flinders University. Her research investigates the relationship between affective aspects of learning mathematics—such as self-efficacy, enjoyment, anxiety, active learning strategies, and achievement-oriented goals—and student achievements in enabling program mathematics courses at UniSA College, including gender differences.
