Formally a secondary school physics teacher, James now leads the secondary Physics PGCE course at the University of Cambridge. He is a member of the Physics Education Research Group at the University of Uppsala, Sweden, where he is studying for a doctorate on the developing professional identity of early career physics teachers. James also works with the Ogden Trust on many of their projects supporting physics teaching.
Really useful introduction, focusing on research outcomes/resources that teachers can apply in planning teaching and in the classroom. (But, then, just what I would expect from James.)
Wow! That’s incredible list of resources.It seems I have finally found something which resonates with me as a lonely Physics teacher in my little part of world.Thanks James.
Thanks,
I’ve put the slideshow and the link to the Some Pillars of Wisdom : A Physics Education Research Primer document in the Physics Education Research section on http://www.teachphysics.co.uk/ and whilst you are there I recommend the completely unrelated Physics and Birdsong section for my favourite ever lesson on sounds/waves
Best
