Anna Traianou is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Educational Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London. She has carried out research on primary science expertise, focusing in particular on the relationship between subject knowledge and the complexities of educational practice. This resulted in her book Understanding Teacher Expertise in Primary Science (SensePublishers 2006). She has also worked on the relationship between research evidence and practical wisdom exploring some of the problems facing any notion that effective teaching can simply be an application of the results of scientific research. She has a particular interest in qualitative research methodology and theories of science.
