Wendy S. Nielsen is a science education researcher interested in how learners come to be in control of their own learning process. This applies to students in classrooms as well as professional development for in-service teachers. Her projects use theoretical frames in cultural historical activity theory and complexity thinking. From a public school teaching background, Wendy continues to be involved in research on teaching and learning in rural schools.
