Research Interest
My PhD thesis explored the difficulties facing both teachers and children in attempting to teach in an interactive, whole class, style as advocated by the National Numeracy Strategy. The work involved a consideration of the nature and limitations of the discourse inherent in such interaction. Currently I'm interested in the use of sociocultural perspectives to make sense of educational interaction. Current projects include: - Understanding teachers' assessment in primary school mathematics as socio-professional 'work'. - Exploring the development of professional knowledge through the EdD programme.
