Expertise

Charly's research and teaching has been related to design, evaluation and implementation of programmes, teaching aspects of science pedagogy, supporting classroom research and development, and finding ways to bring such developments to a variety of audiences. One focus is the need to concentrate on student learning, development and control, and their links with assessment. Another is to develop the roles of speaking and listening, and of writing, for developing understanding.
