Abstract

This interview provides glimpses of Herron's private life from the time that he was a college student until he arrived at Purdue. His dedication to students and commitment to teaching are evident in many of his comments. In the interview, Herron discusses the meaning of laboratory work, preparation and in-service support of pre-college chemistry teachers, problems faced by researchers in chemical education, and some of his opinions about teaching problem solving and the proper role of textbooks in instruction.
