Research interests
My research foci include individual, family, and teacher factors contributing to childrens academic learning and motivation in preschool and early school years. In particular, I have been interested in developmental trajectories of young childrens reading and math skills and the effects of motivation, teacher-student relationships and teacher-parents partnership to childs learning. I am involved in interventions for supporting literacy skills development by computer games and iPad apps and also teacher interventions supporting teacher-child interaction, motivation and engagement in classrooms.
