Kevin D. Finson

Kevin is a retired professor of science education. He taught 34 years at the college level, two at the high school level, and five at the middle school level. He is an earth scientist by training but also has taught physical, life, and other science stuff (as well as some stuff on instructional theory and program evaluation). He really, really likes inquiry learning. He has a sense of humor and really likes puns and shaggy dog stories. Since his retirement, he started to write children’s books for his grandchildren and is now trying to get them published for others to enjoy. During his working career, Kevin was heavily involved in service to professional science education associations and maintained a consistent publication record that included the publication of eight books, some chapters and monographs, and a bunch of refereed (reviewed) journal articles. Most of his publication focus has been on science for students with disabilities and on students’ perceptions about scientists and visual data.
