Adult Learning Theory has been her biggest concern in research and teaching, as she has conducted numerous research, publications, and teaching within the related theory. Her master degree research investigated on how teachers in poverty context engaged in professional learning using the theoretical framework of Adult Learning Theory. The research resulted in a range of learning factors that promoted and hindered teacher learning in disadvantaged context. One of the potential factors was religion, yet the research suggested that this factor was not powerful enough to help teachers to engage in a transformative learning, learning that could bring change in their school context. Her PhD research topic is an ongoing study of her previous research, exploring how teacher’s religious and spiritual meaning-making could bring transformative impact on their pedagogical practices.
