Rate My Professor Sarah Frankland

Frankland holds bachelor's degrees in Archaeology and Biochemistry, a PhD in molecular parasitology, and a Graduate Certificate of University Teaching from the University of Melbourne. Her research focuses on self-regulated learning behaviours, assessment literacy, differences between student and academic perceptions of assessment tasks requiring academic judgement, and interventions to address these gaps. She collaborates with education-focused academics across the Faculty of Science, MDHS, and FEIT. Key publications include 'Development of self-regulated learning: a longitudinal study on academic performance in undergraduate science' (Higgins, Rathner, & Frankland, 2021, Research in Science & Technological Education), 'Perceptions of an assessment literacy module to improve academic judgement – a pilot study' (Willems-Jones et al., 2023, Proceedings of The Australian Conference on Science and Mathematics Education), and 'Implementing the Flipped Classroom in a Veterinary Pre-clinical Science Course: Student Engagement, Performance and Satisfaction' (Dooley, Frankland, Boller, & Tudor, 2018, Journal of Veterinary Medical Education). She received the 2025 GEM Scott Teaching Fellowship for her project 'Transition pedagogy: the role of self-regulated learning and GenAI' and was selected for Homeward Bound 8, a leadership program for women in STEM from 17 countries. Frankland participates in BRITE, MAVALT, and SBS-ERG groups.
