Research in School Chemistry Education Event

You are invited to join us for a twilight session on Tues Nov 11th (17:30-20:00) where we will tell ‎you about some of the research ‎projects we are ‎working on, which you can get involved with:‎

A) Flipped teaching/inverted classroom update: We have been ‎flipping some of our ‎teaching at the university, and we will ‎outline the approaches we have used and will ‎invite you to ‎share your good practice in this area.‎

B) The factors that influence young peoples’ attitudes towards ‎chemistry (and science ‎in general): A Masters student working ‎with us is investigating this subject with a ‎view to then ‎developing new teaching resources and outreach activities to ‎foster more ‎positive perceptions.‎

C) The development of self-assessment resources to enhance ‎students’ skills in writing ‎mechanisms in organic chemistry: We ‎have been using video mark schemes (worked ‎examples) for ‎students to use in self-assessment of their own work for several ‎years ‎and we are keen to roll this out to schools and colleges.‎

D) What do you know about current trends in chemistry education ‎research and how ‎it can help you with your teaching?‎

Pizza and refreshments provided!‎
