Research interests:

Dr. Justyna Makowska – Doctor of Mathematical Sciences, academic teacher at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Białystok, member of the Creative Mathematics Learning Center team operating at the Faculty of Mathematics. She has many years of teaching experience. Her scientific work has focused on the spectral analysis of functional operators. Currently, her research focuses on issues related to learning and teaching mathematics. She uses problem-based methods in her teaching. She runs (or co-runs) Young Explorer Clubs for primary school students: “We, Mathematical Travelers” (grades II-IV), “We, Mathematics Trackers” (grades V-VIII), and for secondary school students, “We, Mathematicians.”
