Assistant Profesor, Hendra Agustian, Department of Science Education, University of Copenhagen

Hendra has degrees in both Chemistry and Education, as well as research experience in curriculum design. His PhD focussed on students' learning in the laboratory, particularly concerning the role of pre-laboratory work. He also investigated their views of the nature of science. Prior to this project, he taught and tutored students at primary, secondary, and university levels, including in chemistry laboratories in Indonesia and the UK. In liaison with the PI of the IQ-Lab, Hendra seeks to develop a comprehensive assessment instrument aimed at integrating six domains of learning in the laboratory. He took over the leadership of WP2 and WP5. As of March 2022, he embeds his research in the IQ-Lab into his tenure track program as an assistant professor.
