Teaching & Research
Teaching Interests:
Helen teaches on a variety of 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate modules. Her interests include the philosophy of Physical Education, threshold concepts and transformational learning, alternative approaches to learning and teaching. Authentic assessments, flipped learning and a clear focus on interactive and transformational learning means that Helen’s lectures are never dull.
As Head of Department she leads on Retention and Academic Integrity.
Research Interests:
Helen is interested in using innovative learning, teaching, assessment and feedback techniques in order to enhance the student experience. However, recent work on Retention has led to a focus on how students can be supported in their learning journeys through university and how individuals can be identified for extra support.
