Moving Science Education into the 21st Century: A Festschrift in Honor of Kenneth Tobin

Scantlebury, Kathryn; Ritchie, Stephen M.

This volume acknowledges the contribution of Kenneth Tobin to the international science education community. The book includes a range of perspectives, from more theoretical contributions to practical case studies, and is comprised of 23 chapters organized into 4 sections around the key themes of Ken’s work, namely interpretative classroom research, doing research differently, and transformative practice in schools and teacher education. These sections are framed by an introduction and overview that focuses on Ken’s initial research, his commitment to research through his own intellectual development as a scholar and his support of others through networks (collaborations and research squads) and mentoring (educating and learning from colleagues).  The last section discusses his current and future research direction (e.g. his more recent work on emotions and mindfulness).
