Development and research of interdisciplinary (STEAM), especially science and technology, integrated instruction in teacher education and basic education. In particular, the future development of broad-based technological skills and capabilities, creative design and ingenuity, and collaborative problem-solving skills.
I am interested in developing student entrepreneurship, especially in the fields of education. In addition, I am researching and developing new forms and ways for school-community partnerships.
