Education for Sustainability and Inclusivity
We conduct multidisciplinary research to address pressing global issues such as climate change, sustainability, and disparities in underserved communities. Our research engages innovative theories and concepts across a broad spectrum, such as Ecopedagogy, Indigenous Futures, and Sustainable Schools.
Education for STREAM and Digitalisation
We explore digital advancements in education, assessing how effectively the current pedagogy prepares students in an increasingly digital world. Our work explores the latest tech-driven methods and tools for teaching and learning that integrate the disciplines of Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering and Mathematics (STREAM).
Education for Language Learning Sciences
We focus on the role of language, the scientific theories related to language acquisition, and the most effective methods of teaching language. Our research delves into several areas, such as Early Language Development and Disorder, Science of Reading, and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL).
