Professor Lilia Halim	Lilia Halim is a professor in Science Education at the Faculty of Education, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Her research interest and work revolves around promoting scientific literacy through three main research thrusts; a. Investigating and developing science teachers pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), b. propagating pedagogical model for promoting innovative thinking in science and now known as STEM education and c. exploring the role of nonformal science learning in the Malaysian context. Lilia was also involved in the roadmap planning for science and mathematics (2015-2020) for the Regional Science and Mathematics Centre (RECSAM) in Penang . In addition, she and the team from UKM was involved in the evaluation of the Malaysian education system that provided inputs to the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013-2025. Lilia has also contributed to the resource pack on pedagogies for Girls in STEM as part of Malaysia/UNESCO –IBE Project, Strengthening STEM Curricula for Girls in Africa and Asia and the Pacific. In terms of publications, Lilia has written research articles in the science and mathematics journals and book chapters in publishers such as Kluwer, Springer, Routledge and Sense Publishers.
