Research Interests

My research interests lie in the areas of science, technology and environmental education with expertise centred on the assessment of physical and/or psychosocial learning environments. I have experience in the provision of teacher training and development, as well as in facilitating teachers’ inquiry through participatory action research. I am also deeply interested in international education, Indigenous education, bio-cultural diversity and education for sustainable development.
