Primary research interest

Students' awareness of their own conceptual models in chemistry and their motivation to apply formative feedback in their learning

Additional role

  • Director, First Year Chemistry Curriculum & Assessment: my principal responsibility is to lead the implementation of curriculum and assessment quality control and reform. I am the principle interface between the first-year teaching team and all of the relevant stakeholders for students enrolled in first-year chemistry courses. I monitor horizontal alignment of content across the five courses and vertical alignment with both high school and second-level chemistry. 

About me

I gained a BSc (Applied Chemistry, Hons) from Sheffield Hallam University (UK) in 1986 and a PhD in Physical Chemistry from Cranfield University (UK) in 1990. I have held several postdoctoral and senior research appointments between 1991 and 2005, serving as a CI on multiple ARC grants and supervising numerous RHD and undergraduate research students.

In 2006, I decided to pursue her growing interest in how students acquired and applied their conceptual understanding (after supervising many research students who held basic misconceptions). I held an Honorary Research Consultant appointment during 2006/7 while I completed a Graduate Diploma in Education (UQ) and then taught in high schools. I commenced a teaching-focused appointment in the School of Chemistry & Molecular Biosciences in 2008.

After successfully transferring from bench chemistry research into chemistry education and discipline-based education research, my projects to date have addressed diversity and engagement of students through collaborative inquiry tasks, the implementation of undergraduate research experiences, and mechanisms for provision of formative feedback to support self-regulated learning (all funded by Category 1 national teaching & learning funding grants).

Current projects

  • Development of formative feedback mechanisms to enhance self-regulated construction/correction of student missing- and misconceptions in chemistry.
  • Learning design of technology-enhanced collaborative learning environments.
  • Investigation of relationships between undergraduate research experiences, student engagement and deeper thinking.

Researcher biography

Gwen is a Teaching-Focused academic in the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences at UQ, she was appointed to this role in 2008 following several postdoctoral and senior research focused appointments in the UK and Australia. After successfully transferring from traditional chemistry laboratory research into discipline-based education and higher education research, her work has addressed student diversity in prior learning and engagement of students through: collaborative discourse and inquiry tasks; the implementation of undergraduate research experiences; and mechanisms for provision of formative feedback to support self-regulated learning. She currently leads an active research program into supporting and assessing student self-regulated learning in online environments in parallel with exploring how combinations of multimodal representations impact on learning. Gwen is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and the current Editor in Chief of Chemistry Education & Research Practice (RSC Publishing). Her teaching has been recognised by multiple national, professional and institutional teaching awards including the RACI Fensham Medal in 2021.
