Research Areas

Research Overview

Associate Professor Wendy Nielsen is a science educator with research interests in science teaching and learning, in particular, how educational technology can be used to support student learning and teachers teaching about science. Grounded in sociocultural theories of learning and multimodalities as means to produce and represent understanding, Dr Nielsen leads an ARC Discovery Project called “The Quality of Learning as Students Create Digital Explanations of Science”. The study is examining tertiary science learners’ production of these media products as artefacts of learning but also the pedagogy behind how instructors use this in assessing science learning. Further examinations will consider how creating a digital explanation helps these students develop communications knowledge and skill.

Other research interests include supervising teacher knowledge, preservice and in-service teacher education, doctoral pedagogy and mathematics education. Dr Nielsen has supervised HDR and Honours students in a range of areas including science teaching and learning, mathematics pedagogy in preservice teacher education, conceptual knowledge development, educational leadership, professional learning for teachers and environmental education.

Dr Nielsen has authored or co-authored over 50 journal publications and book chapters, including one edited book. As of April, 2018, her Google Scholar profile listed more than 825 citations and an h-index of 14, her SCOPUS h-index is 9, and her Web of Science h-index is 8. She completed masters and doctoral studies at the University of British Columbia and was a high school science and mathematics teacher in British Columbia and California prior to graduate studies. She has been a Faculty member at the University of Wollongong since 2009.
