Prospective PhD/ EdD/ MPhil Applications
?I am available to supervise PhD/EdD/MPhil students and would welcome enquiries for supervision.
Areas of Expertise
Research interests:
Teacher expertise (Pedagogical Content Knowledge, Teacher Noticing);Use of video in teacher education; Innovative iology teaching; Formative assessment; Dialogic teaching
My research focuses on science teachers' professional knowledge and practices. I am interested in expertise in science teaching as well as how classroom videos can be used as a tool to promote science teacher professional learning and development. Key issues include:
What is the nature and contentof the situational and dynamic aspects of science teaching expertise?
How canvideo-based instruments be used to capture and characterise science teaching expertise?
How can the situational anddynamic aspects of teaching expertise be promoted in science teachers?
What are exemplars of innovative practices in secondary biology teaching?
I have used a number of theoretical constructs to unpack and characterise the dynamic and situational nature of teaching expertise of science teachers. These includepedagogical content knowledge (PCK), teacher noticing, usable teacher knowledge, situation-specific skill, responsiveness,technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). I situate my work in literature on PCK, TPACK, teacher noticing, formative assessment anddialogic/responsive teaching.
