Kristina Zuza is lecturer in the Applied Physics department of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). She is graduated in Physics (Astrophysics specialty) by the University of La Laguna (Canary Islands, Spain) and she got her PhD in Physics Education by the University of the Basque Country.
She developed her dissertation about Teaching and Learning Electromagnetic Induction within the A level Research Group (Basque Government) DoPER (DOnostia Physics Eduction Research) led by Jenaro Guisasola where she still is working.
Currently she is teaching introductory physics courses for engineers and also in the secondary school teachers’ master. Moreover, she is involved in active teachers training in secondary and university levels.
Her research has different interest points. For one hand she studies students' difficulties understanding concerning physics laws and concepts and the design, implement and evaluation of Teaching Learning Sequences at university level. On the other hand, she is interested in the relationship between the general theories about education and the discipline based research needs.
She is involved in some national and european projects and she has several publications in journals like Physical Review-Physics Education Research, American Journal of Physics, European Journal of Physics, Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Fisica, International Journal of Science Education and Enseñanza de las Ciencias.
