Profile
My research program examines the relationship between conceptual understanding and factual knowledge for key scientific themes, including size and scale and the nature of matter. I examine how secondary students gradually build more connected and factually accurate ideas, and the relationship between connectedness of knowledge and factual knowledge. I also develop and evaluate instructional materials designed to promote student learning about these themes.
Terminal Degree
