About Me

I have tried my best to keep my plants alive. I have learned that I have a green thumb for orchid, but not for bonbasi. Now I have five different orchid in my office, but I had also killed 5 little tree bonsai. So, it is a tight now.

Focus of current FEW-Nexus-based education work

To preparing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and agriculture, food, natural resources (AFNR) capable citizenry, my work focuses on using using the intersection of AFNR systems as a context (e.g., sustainability, climate variation, and food, energy and water security) to support learners to learn STEM knowledge and skills. The pedagogy design, STEM integration, emphases integrated, cross-disciplinary approaches to support learners' STEM learning and practicing science informed decision making.

FEW-Nexus-based education experience, expertise and interests

My work is directly centered on students' transferability of acquired STEM knowledge and skills in both in-school and out-of-school settings. I believed that STEM learning experiences should build upon young people's existing knowledge and is best when applied to their lives, helping them to understand what they already know and making meaning of their world. FEW-Nexus issues highly associate with students' everyday life. STEM play critical roles in terms of solving FEW-Nexus problems.
