My main interests are in: sustainability education, technology education and interdisciplinary science education. Current and recent projects include:

  • Sustainability in Science Teacher Education
  • Computer science education in primary school
  • Making and designing in prevocational education - promoting interest in technology
  • Making and designing in STEM-teacher education - a bridge toward interdisciplinary collaboration?
  • Inclusive science education in a multilingual classroom
  • The use of language in design presentations
  • Meta-analysis: how approaches to science teaching affect attitude (NWO PROO-review study)
  • Teaching of Special Relativity in Secondary Education


The major part of my research work is being conducted in my research group on Science and Technology Education at the Hogeschool Utrecht
