Dr. Lincoln Gill is a Senior Lecturer in Technology and Applied Studies in the School of Education, and he is based on CSU’s Wagga Wagga campus. Prior to coming to CSU Lincoln worked in retail, sales, and construction, and is a qualified carpenter and builder. Lincoln completed his B Ed (TAS) (IT major) in 2001 and worked in the field of educational design and academic development for close to 10 years. This work included a focus on curriculum design, pedagogy, professional learning, and support and leadership for the use of educational technologies. Completion of a Graduate Certificate in Multimedia and Online Learning, and a Master of Education (IT) extended knowledge in these areas. His doctoral research investigated teacher education students’ use of ICTs for teaching and learning while on professional experience placements. The application of Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) as both a theory and approach for this investigation revealed new insights and understandings of influences on the students’ development and practices within the activity systems of university coursework and schools.

Teaching areas include:

  • Design and Technology project
  • Curriculum Studies: Technology
  • Timber and Metal Workshop: Pedagogy and Design

Lincoln has published in the areas of technology education, and educational technology. The use of ICTs by pre-service teachers has been an enduring focus in the field of educational technology. The evaluation and development of psychomotor capabilities is a relatively recent area of his scholarship in technology education. The latest work that Lincoln has engaged with in the field of technology education is a pair of book chapters, one with a section on pedagogy in technology education, the other on assessment.
