Welcome to my webpage!

My name is Fanny Seroglou and I am an assistant professor in the School of Primary Education at the Faculty of Education in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in Greece.

I have a degree in physics, a PhD in science education concerning the contribution of history of science to instructional material design and a post-doc on teacher training in scientific literacy.

I have designed and have been teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level courses such as "Science for Citizenship", "Science and Culture in Education" and "Science Education".

My research interests focus on:

a) The contribution of history and philosophy of science in science education (awarded the Volta Medal from the IHPST group in 1999)

b) Scientific literacy (scholarship from the Greek Scholarships Foundation in 2002 for postdoctoral research),

c) Science for citizenship (designed and developed a teacher-training course and also published a book titled "Science for Citizenship" in greek in 2006),

d) Science and culture in education (designed and developed a teacher-training course and an educational wiki supporting the course, held as Conference Chair the "Science and Culture" IHPST2011 conference and edited the "Science and Culture" Book of Proceedings in 2011)

e) Website, web-based learning environment and instructional e-material design (the most recent ones are: http://atlaswiki.wetpaint.gr, http://hipstwiki.eled.auth.gr)

f) Science education research models (design and evaluation of research models such as the SHINE research model for the interaction between history of science and science education, the three-dimensional cognitive, meta-cognitive and emotional research model for recording the proposal for the use of history of science in science education, the GNOSIS research model for an nature-of-science approach to scientific literacy, the 3D-5I model for the combination of skills, attitudes and intelligences in science teaching and the ATLAS_WBLE model for the meeting of scientific literacy and digital literacy).

Since 2003 I am the head of the ATLAS research group (ATLAS is the acronym of A Teaching and Learning Approach for Science) and with my colleagues (nowadays the ATLAS group consists of more than 30 researchers and educators) we have participated in a series of international research projects concerning the use of history and philosophy of science in science education and the development of instructional e-material, multimedia and activities for the science classroom such as The MAP prOject, STeT, IPP, HIPST, that also led to the development of websites that the ATLAS research group has highly contributed such as http://atlas.eled.auth.gr, http://ppp.unipv.it/MAP, http://www.ucy.ac.cy/stet, http://hipstwiki.eled.auth.gr
