Bio/Research
Noemi Waight’s research centers on the use of technology in K-12 science teaching.She studies how tools such as computer-based models, databases and bioinformatics tools are adopted and used by schools. Her work is in-depth, documenting the full cycle from design and development of new tools to actual implementation and enactment in science classrooms. Her research helps to elucidate the Nature of Technology as it pertains to K-12 science education, empirically examining the factors and conditions that impact the adoption of technology in STEM education.Waight’s work has also evolved to examine the role of school leadership in STEM implementation, and the role of computer science to facilitate scientific understanding. This line of teaching and research interests includes the study of science education and leadership in international contexts, specifically Belize and Japan.
