The Science Education Research Group (SERG) is a group of people whose research interests and expertise relate to science education interpreted in the broadest sense. SERG’s purpose is to represent a national voice of science education research in Canada.
I am an Assistant Professor of Education at Crandall University, where I teach Science Education, Educational Foundations, and Diversity and Multiculturalism. My research focuses on educational programs/methods that redress issues that marginalized youth encounter in schooling with an emphasis on science subjects and informal science programs.
I am a Lecturer at the University of Alberta. My research interests include the role of Procedural Knowledge (especially Concepts of Evidence) in science teaching and indigenous science; the role of gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status on the understanding of Procedural Knowledge; the decolonization of Concepts of Evidence; approaches to evidence in watershed management; equity, diversity, and inclusion in science education; and sustainability and environmental education.
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University. My research and teaching encompass several interconnected areas: interactions between Islam, science, culture and education; science and integrated STEM education; equity, diversity, and inclusion in science pedagogy; and supporting learners with learning difficulties. Currently, I am collaborating with Indigenous scholars to integrate Indigenous epistemologies and practices related to environmental sustainability into science and
mathematics education.
I am a PhD Candidate in Science Education at York University and a current Graduate Teaching Assistant with the Faculty of Education. In earlier years, I was a Secondary Chemistry and Mathematics Teacher with the Toronto District School Board. My doctoral research investigates the relevance of dramatic arts in Chemistry education, where students explore an ecofeminist knowledge-making practice while engaging in topics related to climate change
