My research focuses on understanding and improving learning in higher education, drawing on phenomenographic approaches to explore conceptions of problem-solving, the development of generic skills, and the roles and teaching approaches of PBL tutors.
Below is a breakdown of each of these areas and the research I have conducted within them.

I have shared my research through a range of international and national conferences, providing opportunities to discuss my findings, engage with peers, and contribute to ongoing conversations in higher education.
One of the last conferences I have participated in is
EARLY SIG 9 conference, Phenomenography and variation theory – the core, the diversity and the potential
The Association for Teacher Education in Europe (ATEE) Spring Conference: Teacher education research in Europe: trends, challenges, practices and perspectives.
Below you can find some of the materials used in the conferences.
