Allan Canonigo Receives Local and International Recognition for Contributions to Mathematics Education Research

Dr. Canonigo delivers his paper “AI in Math Education: Shifting the Balance Toward Student Empowerment” at the 4th International Conference on Digitalization and Management Innovation in Hong Kong in July 2025.

Congratulations to Dr. Allan Canonigo of the High School Mathematics Group for his significant contributions to the advancement of mathematics education research. His works have received accolades from both the local and international communities.

Dr. Canonigo has recently presented his work on the significant contributions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Mathematics Education. His paper titled AI in Math Education: Shifting the Balance Toward Student Empowerment was presented at the 2025 Digitalization and Management Innovation International Conference held in Hong Kong from 7 July to 9 July 2025. His work, which was awarded one of the Best Papers in the conference, explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in creating more personalized and student-centered learning environments. His presentation is now part of the recently published conference proceedings by IOS Press.

He has also published a research paper titled Enhancing Instruction in Trigonometry: Insights from Students' Reasoning Approaches and Processes in the Mathematics Teaching Research Journal. This qualitative work provides educators with a framework for understanding diverse student reasoning styles, advocating teaching strategies that move beyond memorization to develop deeper problem-solving skills.

His work titled Leveraging AI to Enhance Students' Conceptual Understanding and Confidence in Mathematics was featured on the official Facebook page of the UP Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs (OVPAA). This research paper, which was published in the Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, provides empirical evidence on how AI-driven tools can positively affect both cognitive and affective domains of learning. The reach and impact of his study led to recognition from the OVPAA.
