Summary
Li Ke is an Assistant Professor of Science Schooling at the College of Nevada, Reno. His investigation facilities close to fostering significant science training and mastering from elementary by significant faculty lecture rooms. He is interested in how learners negotiate socio-scientific concerns these kinds of as climate change and how concern-centered studying ordeals support students’ enhancement in scientific literacy. His function also explores co-style as an effective way of instructor specialist progress to promote teacher company.
Ke’s recent investigation, funded by the National Science Basis, examines how center faculty students coordinate different types of models to master about viral pandemics. His function has been released in peer-reviewed journals, together with the Journal of Study in Science Training, Intercontinental Journal of Science Education, and Science & Schooling.
Prior to signing up for the University of Nevada, Reno, Ke was a Postdoctoral Exploration Associate at the College of Schooling at the College of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He serves as the Controlling Editor of the Journal of Study in Science Instructing and on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Science Instructor Education and Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary Science Education and learning Exploration.
