The REMEDIATE project (Re-experiencing Mathematics through Digital Storytelling) explores how digital storytelling (DST) can be employed as both a pedagogical and research tool to transform pre-service teachers’ relationship with mathematics.

Drawing on previous work of the research team, REMEDIATE seeks to address the negative affective and cognitive experiences that many primary pre-service teachers report towards mathematics. The project aims to support them in revisiting, reconstructing, and remediating this relationship—helping them to develop autonomous, reflective, and inclusive teaching identities in mathematics education.

Mathematics holds a central position in curricula worldwide, both as a core cognitive domain and as a socio-cultural construct that shapes educational success and personal confidence. By integrating digital storytelling as an experiential medium for reflection, expression, and communication, REMEDIATE introduces an innovative approach to teacher education, combining emotional awareness, cognitive insight, and creative digital practice.

Through the production and sharing of digital stories, REMEDIATE fosters community building, reflective engagement, and multimodal learning among future teachers, offering a model of teacher training that unites research, technology, and education in a transformative learning process.
