He holds a Bachelor of Teaching and a Bachelor of Education (First Class Hons), both from the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, and a PhD in mathematics education from the University of Melbourne in Australia. He taught mathematics subjects in the Master of Teaching (Early Childhood, primary, and secondary) program at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne. Mayamiko is a proficient and registered teacher with the Victorian Institute of Teaching. Mayamiko worked for the Victoria Department of Education and Training as a mathematics teacher. Mayamiko currently teaches the following subjects in the teacher preparation program: Mayamiko’s research interest is in STEM education, and curriculum and pedagogy of mathematics in the early years, primary, and junior secondary school. His current research project focuses on the development of the concept of multiplicative thinking in students in the primary and junior secondary school. He employs an exploratory mixed-method approach to explore teachers' pedagogical content knowledge for supporting students' learning around multiplicative thinking. Mayamiko’s research uses the model of Teacher Capacity as the framework for instrument(s) design and data analysis. Multiplicative thinking underpins students' learning of other key topics in mathematics and has emerged as an area of research focus in mathematics education in recent years. Mayamiko's research complements the current efforts to enhance teachers' capacity to support students' learning around multiplicative thinking. As a teacher and researcher in STEM and Mathematics Education, Mayamiko has presented at local and international conferences. He is an active member of the following professional organisations: REVIEWER AWARDS
