RESEARCH PROFILE

Dr Dury Bayram is an Assistant Professor at the Eindhoven School of Education (ESoE), Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). She holds a bachelor degree in physics teaching from Middle East Technical University (METU), Turkey. She worked for 10 years as a physics & science teacher at secondary schools in Turkey. She has worked as a principal investigator and researcher on various local and EU projects and serves as a chair of the External Policy and Relations Committee at NARST. Her research interests are; Socio-scientific Issues (SSI), science education for citizenship, pedagogy of physics, Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) of physics/science teachers, formative evaluation of SSI lessons, and innovation in education. 

How science can serve society? How socio-scientific reasoning happens? How can we educate students to make informed decisions and act as responsible citizens? I am fascinated by searching for answers to these questions.
