New Perspectives in Science Education

I am Professor at the Department of Special Education at the University of Thessaly in Greece. I am also an associate tutor at the School of Humanities at the Hellenic Open University. I graduated from the Physics Department at the University of Crete and continued my post-graduate studies at the University of Paris 7-Denis Diderot (D.E.A. in Didactics of Science), University of Paris 5-Rene Descartes (D.E.A. in Science Education) and received my PhD at the University of Paris 5-Rene Descartes (PhD in Science Education) in France.
My field of specialisation is science education at early childhood, and some other current research interests concern science teaching and learning, ICT in science education, and distant and adult education. During my academic career I have acquired valuable scientific experience that has enhanced my competences and scientific leadership potential. After the completion of my PhD, I worked as researcher at the French Pedagogical Institute and in different Greek institutions of tertiary education; an academic experience that equipped me with important organisational skills and had an important impact on my career building.
