The overall focus of Dr Shaby's research is to examine learning processes in informal learning environments across a lifetime. Her main research interest focuses on interactions in informal settings including cognitive, affective, social and physical engagement of children and adults, both in science and non-science related environments.
Dr Shaby aims to advance research in the learning ecologies approach, looking at the relationship between different experiences in various environments, in and out-of-school, during the course of one's life. Her research worldview is mainly constructivist-interpretivist aiming to understand and reconstruct knowledge by using hermeneutical methodology. She uses grounded theory, ethnography and case studies approaches in her research.
