Anna Mang

Anna Mang serves as an Academic Casual at Macquarie School of Education within the Faculty of Arts at Macquarie University, concurrently pursuing her Doctor of Philosophy. Her dual role encompasses teaching responsibilities and active research contributions to science education scholarship.

Her research profile centers on interdisciplinary science education, with emphatic focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) integration, climate change pedagogy, and virtual reality applications. Mang investigates how socioscientific issues (SSIs) can structure engaging classroom experiences, particularly through evaluation rubrics for STEAM programs and immersive technology interventions. Her work consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with practical classroom implementation to address contemporary educational challenges.

Recent publications reveal a cohesive trajectory in innovative science pedagogy: the 2025 systematic review on virtual reality examines motivational dynamics in technology-mediated learning, while her 2023 and 2021 articles establish methodological foundations for SSI-based program design and assessment. Collectively, these works demonstrate specialization in curriculum development that connects scientific literacy with real-world environmental challenges.

As an active researcher, Mang collaborates with scholars including Hsin-Kai Wu, Shaima Hajama, and Hye-Eun Chu. Her scholarly output appears in prominent science education journals such as Research in Science Education and Asia-Pacific Science Education, reflecting rigorous peer-reviewed contributions to the field.
