I am interested in studying how teachers' curricular and pedagogical practices reflect their cultural values and beliefs about self. I have examined cultural and historical constraints on children's learning and development in the context of early schooling. I explore this interest with a theoretical framework of cultural psychology. More recently, I have begun a cross-national study on children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to investigate how teachers' views of children's behavior in general and teachers' perceptions of children with ADHD in particular reflect different cultural beliefs about the range of normality in child development and about proper pedagogy for young children.
