The head of the Area of Strength: Learning Sciences Dr Ronnel King who is also an Assistant Professor at Department of Curriculum and Instruction, have received recognition from the Association for Psychological Science (APS).
​
Dr King have received an APS Rising Star Award, which recognises psychology researchers in the earliest stages of their careers whose innovative work has advanced the field. Among all universities in Greater China, only EdUHK researchers, together with Dr. Ian Lam, received the award, and only three awards were given in Asia.
​
Dr King examined key factors that underpin student motivation and well-being, and developed interventions to improve them. “I feel very grateful for receiving the APS Rising Star Award”, he commented. “It is great recognition for an early career researcher. I would like to thank all my collaborators and friends for making research an exciting and wonderful journey. This success is not just my achievement but also reflects the strong research culture that the University and the faculty have built over the years.”
