Joyce Hwee Ling Koh is a Singaporean–New Zealand academic, and is professor of higher education at the University of Otago, specialising in educational technology, and improving teacher development. Koh has developed tools and frameworks for teacher assessment which are used internationally.
Academic career
[edit]Koh completed a PhD titled The use of scaffolding in introductory technology skills instruction for pre-service teachers at the Indiana University Bloomington.[1] From 2008 to 2015, Joh was based in the Nanyang Technological University National Institute of Education in Singapore. Koh then joined the faculty of the Higher Education Development Centre at University of Otago, rising to full professor in 2024.[2]
Koh's research focuses on technology in education, and improving teacher education. She is interested in how teachers engage with emerging technology, and has developed tools that use design thinking to assess competencies and incorporate technology. These tools include technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) surveys, which are used to assess how teachers integrate technology in their curriculum, and have been used internationally.[2] She has also developed tools to assess student technological competency.[2] Koh co-authored a book published in 2015 on how design thinking can be incorporated into education.[3][2] Koh serves as a Senior Associate Editor of the Asia Pacific Education Researcher, and was an invited plenary speaker at a Centre for Research in International Education conference at the Auckland Institute of Studies.[4]
