This researcher focuses on how elementary and pre-service teachers learn to teach coding, robotics, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects, often using 'activity theory' and classroom argumentation as frameworks to study teacher learning and professional development. Work spans rural, indigenous, and general elementary school settings, examining how teachers adopt and sustain new coding/robotics practices in their classrooms. An earlier, separate line of work involved evaluating water quality in streams and lakes in Turkey using biological indicators, though this appears unrelated to the more recent education-focused research.
Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from occasional single papers in 2017-2019 to a sustained higher output of 5-9 papers per year from 2021 through 2025.
