Professional Learning and the "Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education:" Reflections of a Science Teacher Educator
Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, v20 n4 p764-774 Dec 2020
In preparing this essay in celebration of 20 years of the "Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education (CJSMTE)," the author reflects on her developmental trajectory as a science teacher educator, and researcher through the lens of professional learning. She describes how her engagement with the journal contributed to her professional growth in terms of teaching and scholarship. As a member of the editorial board of the journal since its inception, the author outlines how being a reviewer for the journal, a contributor to the journal, and a consumer of the journal has benefitted her professional learning over a 20-year period, starting with her early work as an academic. She recommends that new science teacher educators and established scholars strongly consider the CJSTME as a dissemination venue for research, as well as a source for informing personal and professional learning in science, mathematics, and technology education. Moreover, she suggests that science teacher educators reflect on the content of their professional learning, the types of activities that will meet their professional learning goals, and the rationale for engaging in professional learning activities.
