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 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 Assistant Professor at the Université de l’Ontario français, where I teach in the Bachelor of Education program. I am interested in relational, affective, and material approaches to teaching and learning in science education contexts, with a focus on socio-ecological justice.
I am an Associate Professor at Brandon University who has served SERG in many roles in the past. This year, I will be supporting Dr. El Halwany as we put together our SERG Annual Conference Program as Program Co-Director. I teach courses on science education, curriculum, and pedagogy, and my research focuses on teachers’ beliefs about the epistemic aspects of science.
