Associate Professor, Head of the Teacher Education program, Head of the Learning and Teaching Sciences program

I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Biology, as well as my Ph.D. degree in Science Education, from Bar-Ilan University. In my Ph.D. dissertation, I developed an innovative method for teaching science, called MINT (Metacognitive guided Inquiry within asynchronous learning Networked Technology). This method is based on high-order thinking skills for teaching science inquiry in digital learning environments under SRL (Self-Regulate Learning) guidance, cooperative learning, and feedback-corrective theories. I have collaborated with various European countries (Spain, Greece, Cyprus) in designing MINT-based science curricula and was awarded Third Prize in the E-scola European Competition for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Education in 2006.
