RESEARCH INTERESTs

I am interested in how students learn science and how best to use e- and m-innovations and interventions in the science curriculum, including the problematic reaction some students have when applying their maths knowledge to their studies in Biology. I have adopted the 'students-as-partners' approach in several projects e.g. CampusFlora and Haswell Museum digisation in order to bring the practices of education and research together.

Rosanne's research aligns with the Faculty of Science Research Strengths - Cultivating Scientific Capability, Understanding Our Planet, Understanding Life on Earth, Complex Systems, Historical and philosophical perspectives, Health and Wellbeing Across the Lifespan, Decision-Making for a Sustainable Future, Climate and Environmental Change, Sustainability, Healthy Ecosystems, Data and Decisions.
