Research Interests

The broad nature of my research interests can be summed up under the theme of the teaching and learning of

science. This has involved a variety of topics such as mental models, effective pedagogies, curriculum design

and recently aspects of scientific literacy and the nature of science. I also have been involved in research into

cooperative education and learning experiences outside the classroom. This latter research has focused on

learning for and in the professions; science, and teaching, with an emphasis on the scholarship of teaching.
