Are the chairs you want to buy designed well? Do you have an opinion on government surveillance of personal data? What do you think about windfarm development? Creating technologically savvy members of society who are properly informed is an area educators need to be concerned about, according to Professor John Williams, Director of TEMS (Technology, Environmental, Mathematics and Science) Educational Research Centre within the Faculty of Education.

In this lecture, Professor Williams described his research, which aims to validly and reliably assess practice, and in so doing, help overcome the false dichotomy between theory and practice.
