Christine D. Tippett, B.A.Sc. (University of British Columbia), B.Ed. (University of Victoria), M.A. (University of Victoria), and Ph.D. (University of Victoria), is an associate professor of science education in the Faculty of Education at the University of Ottawa. She was an engineer before she obtained her teaching degree, which influences her ways of thinking about science education. Her research interests include visual representations, science education for all students, and professional development for science educators (pre-service, in-service, and informal). Current projects focus on pre-service science teachers’ images of engineers, early childhood STEM education, and assessment of representational competence. Dr. Tippett co-edited the book Science Education in Canada, which was published by Springer in 2019.
