Read, David - University of Southampton

个人简介

David Read obtained his BSc in Chemistry (1996) and PhD in Organic Chemistry (1999) from the University of Bristol, the latter under the supervision of Professor Roger Alder FRS. After two years postdoctoral work with Professor Peter Gaspar at Washington University, St Louis (USA), he then trained as a chemistry teacher on the Graduate Teacher Programme at Theale Green Community School, just outside Reading. In 2007, he was appointed as School Teacher Fellow in Chemistry at Southampton. David was promoted to Principal Teaching Fellow in 2013, and is currently Head of the Education Group and Director of Outreach in Chemistry. David is also the Programme Leader for the Science Foundation Year, where he is responsible for all chemistry teaching and pastoral care. David was a member of the RSC’s Education Division Council from 2009 until 2012, and has been a member of the editorial board of Education in Chemistry since 2009, holding the position of chair since December 2010. David has also worked with a number of A-level awarding bodies, advising on changes to specifications and providing viewpoints from both sides of the school-university divide. David has spoken at a number of international conferences, including an invited keynote at the International Conference on Chemical Education in Sri Lanka and an invited lecture at the European Conference on Research in Chemical Education in Finland, both in 2014. David received a Vice Chancellor’s Teaching Award in 2008 for his role in integrating new forms of learning technology in teaching in Chemistry. In 2010, David was the recipient of the RSC’s Higher Education Teaching Award and the 'Most effective use of video in an educational context' award from the Association for Learning Technology. David’s contributions were recognised by students when he was awarded the 2014 ‘Lifetime Achievement Award: Teaching and Learning’ for the Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences after being nominated by students in Chemistry and on the Science Foundation Year. David became a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2014.

研究领域

Chemical Education Research David has been developing a programme of chemical education research over recent years, and has published in excess of 20 articles in peer-reviewed journals, magazines and the University of Southampton’s EdShare repository. David has supervised a number of undergraduate project students, and their work has contributed substantially to the progress that has been made in this area. David’s first Masters student, Charles Harrison, graduated in the summer of 2013 and continues to contribute to learning development projects and outreach as a staff member with the Education Group in Chemistry. David is currently supervising a Ph.D student, Tom Wilson, who is working on a range of projects relating to the implementation of learning technology and self-regulated learning. David is also co-supervising an MPhil student, Rachel Koramoah, with Dr Paul Duckmanton in Chemistry. Rachel is investigating the factors which influence students’ perceptions of chemistry at different ages.
