Dr Scott Burnet

2008 to present: Senior lecturer (research methods and physiology) – Solent University.

2007 to 2006: Laboratory demonstrator (sports science) – Thames Valley University.

2006 to 2007: Laboratory demonstrator (sports science) – London Metropolitan University.

2005 to 2006: Associate lecturer (physiology) – Queen Mary’s University London.

2003 to 2005: Associate lecturer (physiology and research methods) – University of Winchester.

Scott is currently working towards a pedagogically based PhD which is examining the quantitative methods (QM) provision in sport and exercise science (SES) courses within the UK. This will involve auditing SES courses for QM content, evaluating the effectiveness of the content delivery and then looking for examples of best practice. Other research areas of interest include:

• Learning and teaching practices.
• Reliability and validity of physiological tests.
