I am the current Programme Chair for Science Education at DCU and I coordinate School Placement for undergraduate PEM/PEB/SE students.
I work within the SE programme in a lecturing capacity, utilising my expertise as a Science Teacher, Teacher Educator and Researcher to design and deliver modules that align with current academic research and educational policy.
My current research area explores current issues in Science Education, specifically developing a curriculum theory to underpin practical activities that fosters conceptual understanding, by forming connections between prior, present and future learning activities.
