Thanks for looking in to the research page.  I am a teacher, not a professional academic researcher but I try to be as careful as possible.

I am particularly interested in assessment, including the ways in which summative assessments are made, how they have changed over time, how they are influenced by language and cultural elements, and the way in which schools analyse their summative assessment data.

I am also interested in curriculum design, particularly in progression from KS2 to KS5 during which time many students both develop serious misconceptions and become turned-off from physics in particular, and science in general.  The new courses don't seem to have made any difference to this, but maybe in a couple of years ...

Also, a bit random but, I got fed-up solving Sudoku puzzles so I wrote a program to do it for me - download it here.

Please contact me if you have suggestions or ideas in these areas.
