Research
| My professional career is a synthesis of praxis and theoretical work on education, especially on teaching and learning. I always try to keep scientific approach closely integrated into my work on policy analysis, school improvement and education reforms. My research is therefore closely linked to both education systems and schools, teaching and learning. Indeed, the strength of my research and academic activities are in their integral connection to practice and personal involvement in action. |

My research work can be divided into three broad, interlinked fronts:
(a) teaching and learning for school improvement;
(b) global education policies and educational change; and
(c) learning and leadership.
The overarching aim of my research is to understand schools, generate better knowledge about change, and ultimately help to improve current practices. My research efforts focus on understanding teaching and learning and change in global context. Particular interest is - due to my ongoing work on global education development and change - on sensitive relation between educational leadership and improving schools.
