I completed my PhD in Educational Psychology (Learning Sciences) at McGill University. My research interest is to find out the impact of educational technology on numerical understanding. During my graduate study, I proposed a conceptual model of home numeracy which includes the digital aspects of the home mathematics environment. I also constructed and validated a scale "the digital home numeracy practice inventory or DHNP-i", a unique measure of home mathematics practices that aid children’s mathematics learning. Furthermore, I have experience on designing and developing a theoretically driven educational app. My future research goal is to explore the technological devices as learning tools for children’s fundamental mathematical concepts and processes, both in formal and informal settings.
