Award Address
Advice to My Intellectual Grandchildren
J. Dudley Herron
Department of Physical Sciences, Morehead State University, Morehead, KY

January 2008
Vol. 85 No. 1
p. 24
Abstract
In his address at the ACS Award for Achievement in Research for the Teaching and Learning of Chemistry Symposium, Herron advised young researchers in chemistry education to a) be true to their own sense of purpose, b) be flexible enough to take advantage of unique opportunities, c) shun puffery, d) do careful research, e) communicate results clearly, and f) develop sound learning theory while g) supporting important scholarship not closely tied to theory. Because his 1975 article, Piaget for Chemists, and resulting emphasis on (psychological) constructivism as a guide to research in chemistry education were cited in support of Herron's nomination for this award, he has also responded to Scerri's 2003 article criticizing the use of constructivism in chemistry education.
