Science Education Research Group

Science Education Research Group

Our research informs, challenges and transforms the practice of teaching science across learning communities.

The Science Education Research Group (SERG) at Monash University has a long-standing presence within the field of science, technology, engineering and maths education. We are a home to a diverse team of STEM researchers, experienced teaching practitioners, and research students, all dedicated to enhancing the quality of science education in Foundation–Year 12 schools both locally and globally.

We believe that everyone deserves access to quality science education that informs and empowers them to make responsible and ethical decisions – decisions that are based on sound understanding of the natural world and the impact of technology on their lives and the environment.

Here are our goals...

  • Advance scientific literacy and conceptual understanding among students

  • Innovate teaching methods to improve student engagement, including in virtual classrooms

  • Conduct research that informs, challenges, and transforms the teaching and learning of science

  • Foster international collaborations for research and professional development in science education
