Dr. Roslinawati Mohd Roslan

Is a researcher in the field of primary science education, now working on improving the current primary science education in Brunei and also expand my research interests in the role of language, semiotics and Islamic values in science education. I am also interested in the early science and professional education of teachers. My research areas also include promoting "Dialogic Teaching in Bruneian Science Classrooms".
