个人简介
Timothy obtained a BSc (Honours) in Biochemistry and worked at Tan Tock Seng Hospital as a Medical Technologist prior to receiving his MSc from NIE/NTU for his work on the serological diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In 2019, he obtained his PhD in Science Education from NIE/NTU. From 2003 to early 2009, he taught a variety of life science in-service courses at the DNA Centre @ NIE, with a focus on molecular biology and DNA science, as well as academic courses in the life sciences at all levels. Since 2008, his teaching portfolio has broadened to include curriculum studies in science and technology subjects.
A lifelong 'maker', Timothy's interests in both teaching and his current research, are in the teaching of science with an integrated approach through STEM integration and the use of design-and-make activities. He has always been keen to develop teaching materials, laboratory activities and demonstrations that cater to the needs of teachers in the integrated, interdisciplinary teaching of the natural sciences in schools. In particular, he is interested in approaches that in recent years have become defined as 'maker culture', such as where learners learn science by building their own instrumentation or devices. He is also interested in the use of technology in science education, such as using connected internet of things (IoT) sensors for data acquisition and analysis for applied learning; and in the use of 360-degree photo/video media for immersive learning environments (ILE).
See an outline and examples of his work in this NIE Outreach Video and in his free online class at the NIE Education LaunchPad.
Currently, Timothy teaches pre-service curriculum studies in Computer Applications (CPA) and Primary Science, selected in-service courses in Primary and Lower Secondary Science, as well as undergraduate academic subject courses in molecular genetics and biotechnology. He is also part of the team at the meriSTEM@NIE Centre.
