In the seventh episode of "It’s Just Research: Critically questioning the world we live in," we sit down with Christine Harrison, Professor of Science Education at the School of Education, Communication & Society at King's College London. In our conversation, Professor Harrison shares her journey from being a science teacher to shaping educational policies through her work on formative assessment.
Professor Harrison discusses her pivotal collaborations with Professor Paul Black, which influenced her career path and the broader educational landscape. Their collective work, especially the influential 1998 review, revolutionised classroom assessment practices globally by showing how they can profoundly affect teaching methods and student learning.
