Research Biography

My scholarship has focused on studies of curriculum philosophy and curriculum reform in elementary education. I have worked on the ecologism curriculum theory for many years, with the effort to establish another curriculum research approach.

More recently, my work has turned toward the construction of ecological classroom and the environment education to the public. My research will examine the relation between the classroom environment and the behavior of teacher and students, and the relation between the public awareness of the environment and the grass-rooted culture of local area.

I teach courses in curriculum theory, educational policy, higher education, and the technology and art in classroom teaching.
