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.
