Emeritus Prof Richard Gunstone - Researcher Profile

Biography

Emeritus Professor Gunstone was previously Professor of Science and Technology Education, and Director (and founder) of the Monash-King's College (London) International Centre for the Study of Science and Mathematics Curriculum. He is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia and a Life Member of the Science Teachers' Association of Victoria. He has extensive research, development and consultancy experience in learning, teaching, curriculum, assessment, and teacher development, in school and undergraduate science, physics, engineering (and to a lesser extent medicine) contexts.

Research & Supervision Interests

• Learning, teaching and teacher development, metacognition, all within a constructivist framework, and particularly in science education (and including tertiary level science and engineering); laboratory work in science education; conceptual change, particularly in physics education; values and science education; the nature of the intended science curriculum and the ways in which the compexity and contexts of 'real-world' applications of science can be validly incorporated; assessment and its interactions with curriculum and learning (particularly in science and in considerations of 'relevance' in science)
