In addition science education, curiosity and adaptive, digital learning environments for and learning, for stdents in primary education and informal contexts such as the museum are subjects of research. Recent research work also focuses on pupils in secondary education (including the development of interest and motivation for science). Because of her background in both educational science and developmental psychology, she is familiar with both the perspective of education and the school context and the perspective of the (possibly problematic) developing child from infancy to adulthood.
