About Joyce

Joyce Koh Photo

I am a Professor in higher education, focusing on educational technology. Facilitating educators to translate educational technology theories into usable and effective pedagogical practices drives my research. To date, my research work has contributed validated surveys for the assessment of teachers' confidence in their technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) for constructivist-oriented pedagogies, as well as design rubrics and TPACK design processes to support educators' creation of student-centred learning practices. I am interested in developing understanding about educational technology, teacher learning, and design thinking in higher education and adult learning contexts.

Research interests

  • Design thinking
  • Teacher pedagogical change for student-centred learning
  • Educational technology pedagogies and TPACK
  • Instructional design and e-learning

Supervision

Joyce is available to supervise postgraduates in higher education focusing on educational technology, student-centred learning and teaching, design thinking in education, e-learning, and instructional design. You are welcome to contact Joyce for a chat about your ideas.
