Naomi Hennah
Dedicated to developing education through practice oriented research and teaching. Communication is the key to learning.
My major research activity centres on the area of laboratory learning, the integration of material and dialogic experience as an opportunity to enhance the development of knowledge, and practical competencies.
- Main projects undertaken include the introduction of digital badges to evidence and reward laboratory competences/working scientifically age 5 to 18 years, the development of video design to reduce cognitive load in the laboratory, innovative approaches to delivering laboratory teaching to enhance learning, the role of language in laboratory teaching and learning and the development of oracy as learning strategy in chemistry.
- RSC Chemistry Education Research Fellowship awarded in 2018 to complete research on using oracy to reduce cognitive load in the laboratory.

 Schools Education Award  2018 for developing and promoting the importance of language in chemistry practical work. Naomi is constantly looking for ways to improve the way she teaches chemistry to help students understand and enjoy the subject more.
