Profile

My research focuses on student learning and teaching e.g, approaches to learning and teaching, self-regulation of learning and performance, self-efficacy beliefs, motivation to learn, and quality enhancement in higher education. Currently I participate 1) in investigating and developing scholarly practices using technology through understanding teachers' and students' conceptions of and approaches to teaching and learning. 2) Research in peer-supervision and communication with the aim of improving medical student self-efficacy for engaging in patient-centered communication and examine the influence of course-related motivation to learn, course-related self-efficacy, and medical student well-being
