Julie Moote

Julie joined the Department of Education and Professional Studies in June 2014 as a Research Associate on the second phase of the ASPIRES project. As a science teacher by background and having recently completed her PhD at the University of Edinburgh investigating the impact of inquiry-based learning programmes on motivation and self-regulated processes among young science students, she was drawn to the project with its strong ties to adolescent development and science education reform. Over the course of the next five years, Julie will be collaborating with the wider project team to build on the literature resulting from the first phase of the ASPIRES project in order to further understand how educational and occupational aspirations are formed among young students, and how they change over time.
