40 人物專訪 • EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW 澳大新語 • 2025 UMAGAZINE 32 to 15th place in the 2025/2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Universities ranking for Education and Educational Research. Building on this strong foundation, Prof Fan envisions transforming FED into a world-class hub for teacher training. As technology becomes increasingly integrated into higher education globally, he has identified AI as a key driver of educational transformation. Strengthening teachers’ AI literacy, therefore, is a central pillar of the five-year plan. To this end, Prof Fan has initiated the establishment of the Centre for STEM and AI Education. The centre will focus on cutting-edge research into practical AI applications and best practices for integrating technology into education. ‘This will help educators stay ahead of the curve and master emerging technologies, enabling AI to be a valuable assistant for teachers,’ Prof Fan explains. Establishing FED as a Hub for Nurturing High-Quality Teachers ‘However ambitious an educational vision is, it won’t succeed without high-quality teachers,’ says Prof Fan. He highlights the importance of teacher education, noting that teachers’ personal charisma, values, and even their everyday actions play a quiet but powerful role in shaping students’ worldviews, perspectives on life, and core values. As dean of FED, Prof Fan is dedicated to establishing the faculty as a 范良火教授為教育學院勾勒出五年發展規劃 Prof Fan has developed a five-year development plan for the Faculty of Education 范良火教授現任澳門大學教育學院講座教授、院長及科技與人工智能教育中心主任，英國南安普敦大學教育學院終身榮譽教授。研究領域涵蓋 數學課程與教材、教師專業發展、數學教學成效評估、國際與比較教育、人工智慧與數學教育及純數學上的多項式除法算法等。其專著《教師教學 知識發展研究》被視為當代教育學領域最具影響力的學術著作之一；在基礎數學上，范教授工作顛覆了傳統大中學數學教科書關於綜合除法不 能推廣的錯誤，並由此創立了一個全新具基礎性的多項式除法定理，產生了廣泛影響；他在南安普大學電子出版庫的數學論文，已被下載 17,154次，被譽為下載量最高的純數學論文之一。在教材編纂方面，曾擔任新加坡、英國及中國數學教材主編，並推動中英合作編寫英國版 《一課一練》，對中國數學教育國際化貢獻斐然。 Prof Fan Lianghuo is chair professor of education and dean of the Faculty of Education, as well as director of the Centre for STEM and AI Education at the University of Macau. He also holds an emeritus professorship at the Southampton Education School, University of Southampton, UK. His research interests include curriculum studies and textbook research in mathematics, teacher professional development, mathematics teaching, learning and assessment, international and comparative education, AI in mathematics education, and algorithms for polynomial division in pure mathematics. Prof Fan’s book, A Study on the Development of Teachers’ Pedagogical Knowledge, is widely regarded as one of the most influential academic works in contemporary pedagogy. In the field of basic mathematics, his research addressed a long-standing misconception in traditional university and high school mathematics textbooks—that synthetic division cannot be generalised. He established a new and fundamental polynomial division theorem, which has had a significant impact on the field. One of his key articles on this subject has been downloaded 17,154 times from the University of Southampton’s institutional research repository, making it one of the most accessed works in pure mathematics. In textbook development, Prof Fan has served as editor-in-chief for mathematics textbooks in Singapore, the UK, and China. He also played a key role in the Sino-British collaboration on the UK edition of the textbook One Lesson One Exercise, contributing significantly to the internationalisation of Chinese mathematics education. hub for nurturing high-quality teachers. His strategy focuses on rigorous academic training, the cultivation of professional ethics, and practical experience. This comprehensive approach ensures that future educators are not only knowledgeable and skilled but also compassionate, empathetic, and deeply invested in student growth. This vision is central to the faculty’s mission and reflects Prof Fan’s deep commitment to advancing education.
