Personal profile

Description of research and teaching

My reserach deals with the development of expertise during university studies in teacher education and in life sciences (particularly in biology, pharmacy and medicine). I am interested in the role of conceptual understanding in authentic case-processing and learning of practical, hands-on skills and how the development of adaptive expertise can be facilitated via instruction.
