- Higher education
- Mathematics education
Her primary scientific interests are in Higher education, Pedagogy, Mathematics education, Active learning and Teaching method.
Her Higher education research includes elements of Curriculum, Professional writing and Social studies.
When carried out as part of a general Mathematics education research project, her work on Concept learning, Academic writing and Note-taking is frequently linked to work in Creative writing, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
The Active learning study combines topics in areas such as Cooperative learning, Experiential learning and Educational psychology.
Her studies deal with areas such as Educational technology, Project-based learning and Education theory as well as Experiential learning.
In her study, Competence, Vocational education and Student learning is inextricably linked to Educational research, which falls within the broad field of Teaching method.
Her most cited work include:
- Perspectives into learning at the workplace (667 citations)
- Project-based learning in post-secondary education - theory, practice and rubber sling shots (359 citations)
- Towards expert knowledge? A comparison between a constructivist and a traditional learning environment in the university (328 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary areas of investigation include Pedagogy, Higher education, Mathematics education, Professional development and Medical education.
Vocational education, Teacher education, Teaching method, Experiential learning and Learning environment are among the areas of Pedagogy where the researcher is concentrating her efforts.
In her research on the topic of Experiential learning, Educational psychology is strongly related with Active learning.
