About
Research interests
I am interested in research approaches that seek to better make sense of the relationship of the lived place of the person and structure and agency. In educational settings both the role and position of the person influences change processes and changed practices, whether this is in the choice of teaching approaches or the understanding of science ideas. Value is placed on discursive practices as indicators of a person’s phenomenological hermeneutic, adult or child. The use of technologies as mediators for communication in the area of science education is the area being researched.
