Research interests:
Subject-matter didactics specializing in science, primarily physics, classroom research based on TLS (Teaching and Learning Sequences). Student learning in science, primarily physics. Incipient interest in factors—both content-related and frameworks—that shape interactions among students and between students and teachers in the classroom.
Teaching interests:
- Subject-matter didactics and physics in teacher education
- Subject-matter didactics in continuing education in science for teachers
- Tertiary education with subject-matter didactic content
Keywords:
subject-matter didactics, science education, teaching and learning in science and physics, teaching and learning sequences (TLS)
