Science education

Our theme members work to build new educational experiences and examine how well they work for students and academics.

Our research projects use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the development, implementation, stakeholder experience and outcomes of educational activities.

Working directly with educators, employers and other students at UQ and further afield, our research students:

• conduct surveys and interviews
• examine student outputs
• analyse feedback from multiple sources
• work directly on creative teaching media such as online learning tools, video productions, student magazines, radio programs and podcasts.

Theme members also collaborate with other academics in local, national and international contexts to evaluate and improve educational practice.
