Kimberly Vo is an educator and researcher with a PhD in Chemistry Education Research from the Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences theme, Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Monash University. During her PhD, Kimberly has undertaken a comprehensive investigation into problem solving within a chemistry education by employing a mixed-methods research approach. This multifaceted approach has allowed Kimberly to thoroughly explore and publish on teaching approaches to metacognitive scaffolding and students’ productive and unproductive problem-solving pathways. Her work provided critical insights into the cognitive, behavioural, and affective dimensions of learning, as well as students’ engagement with metacognitive scaffolding As the Ware Research Fellow, Kimberly expanded her education research to explore how MyDispense, a high-fidelity simulation, and skills coaching approaches can foster problem solving, professional skills, and reflective practice in pharmacy education.
