Doctoral research as team enterprise: the continuing legacy of Professor Rosalind Driver
Issue 92 | Page 41 | Published Nov 2022
Description
Rosalind Driver will be a familiar name to STE readers. Her work in the constructivist movement in the 1980s and 90s shifted thinking towards appreciating the active role that students play in learning and which influences teaching practice today. The final article in this edition of STE presents another of her legacies: the Rosalind Driver Memorial Fund, which provides scholarships for doctoral students at King’s College London. Five Ros Driver scholars, Kate Greer, Lucy Wood, Shirin Hine, Sophie Perry and Liam Cini O’Dwyer, describe their research, and their enjoyment of the process of research, showcasing a wide range of academic interests in science education practice and policy, and encouraging others involved in science education to consider doctoral studies.
