I am a professor of chemistry education. I have been teaching courses mainly on research methods in education and teaching and learning of science and chemistry at the secondary level. My research interests include teacher training, curriculum evaluation, how students learn in science/chemistry, undergraduates’ understandings of chemical ideas in thermodynamics, context-based teaching, problem-based learning, trends in science/chemistry education, and teaching science/chemistry to visually impaired students.
I have served in IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry - www.iupac.org) Committee on Chemistry Education as a titular member (2008-2015) and chair (2016-2017). Currently, I am representing Turkey as a national representative in the same committee since 2018.
I am also a member of some national and international organizations serving in science or chemistry education as well as taking active roles such as board memberships and administrative duties.
