Frank Ventura : reaching for the stars with a passion for science and education
Collection home page
Statistics
This book is a tribute to Frank Ventura: our teacher, mentor and colleague.
It includes a selected collection of his writings that illustrate some of the
major contributions that he has made in his work as a scientist, as an
academic, and as a researcher. The idea for the book originated during
one of the first departmental meetings of the newly set up Department
of Mathematics and Science Education within the Faculty of Education,
University of Malta. All members of the department had in some way
been taught, supervised and mentored by Frank Ventura. We therefore
agreed that putting together a selected collection of his writings would be
a fitting celebration of someone who had inspired and motivated us and
played an important role in our professional lives. Since this was a job
that could not be carried out by all members of the department, the three
of us (Deborah, Michael and Martin) were given the task to work with
Frank Ventura, gather together a collection of his papers, select the texts
and produce a publication that would acknowledge the major impact of
Frank Ventura in the fields of science and education.
