What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Pedagogy
  • Social science
  • Mathematics education

Richard Gunstone mainly investigates Mathematics education, Science education, Pedagogy, Conceptual change and Metacognition. His work in the fields of Mathematics education, such as Concept learning and Learning theory, overlaps with other areas such as Perspective and Resolution. Richard Gunstone has researched Concept learning in several fields, including Computer-Assisted Instruction and Physical science.

His research integrates issues of Teaching method, Instructional design, Teacher education and Physics education in his study of Science education. His Pedagogy research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Class and Content. His Conceptual change research incorporates elements of Phenomenon and Conscious control.

His most cited work include:

  • The Content Of Science: A Constructive Approach To Its Teaching And Learning (284 citations)
  • Understanding of gravity (247 citations)
  • The process of conceptual change in force and motion during computer-supported physics instruction (246 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Richard Gunstone focuses on Mathematics education, Science education, Pedagogy, Political science and Concept learning. His study on Teaching method, Science instruction and Conceptual change is often connected to Metacognition as part of broader study in Mathematics education. His studies link Learning theory with Conceptual change.

His Science education research integrates issues from Learning sciences and Curriculum. In general Pedagogy study, his work on Teacher education and Educational research often relates to the realm of Work and Class, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Richard Gunstone integrates many fields, such as Concept learning and Engineering education, in his works.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mathematics education (58.70%)
  • Science education (55.07%)
  • Pedagogy (36.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Science education (55.07%)
  • Mathematics education (58.70%)
  • Pedagogy (36.96%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Science education, Mathematics education, Pedagogy, Engineering ethics and Curriculum. His Science education research includes elements of Teacher education and Learning sciences. Richard Gunstone combines subjects such as Argumentation theory and Set with his study of Mathematics education.

His work in the fields of Teaching method and Science learning overlaps with other areas such as Perspective. His Teaching method study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Science teachers and Conceptual change. His research on Curriculum also deals with topics like

  • Semi-structured interview together with Social science education and Outline of social science,
  • Early childhood and related Cultural learning and Science, technology, society and environment education.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The Professional Knowledge Base of Science Teaching (34 citations)
  • Encyclopedia of Science Education (22 citations)
  • Valuing assessment in science education : pedagogy, curriculum, policy (20 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Pedagogy
  • Social science
  • Mathematics education

Richard Gunstone spends much of his time researching Science education, Mathematics education, Pedagogy, Summative assessment and Engineering ethics. His Science education research incorporates themes from Learning sciences and Encyclopedia. His Mathematics education research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Out of school and Argumentation theory.

His study on Pedagogy is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Qualitative research. His Qualitative research study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Science teachers, Science instruction, Teaching method and Conceptual change. His work carried out in the field of Summative assessment brings together such families of science as Early childhood and Curriculum.
