Research Interests: 
  • Methodological and Epistemological issues of contemporary Social Sciences that improve Theory building
  • Nonlinear Dynamics (complexity, catastrophe theories, entropy, and related fields) and their application to social, behavioral and life sciences
  • Specific research endeavors were made in the area of educational research and concern neo-Piagetian theories, learning, science education, problem solving, creativity and group dynamics
  • Application of advanced statistical methods in Educational Research
