ASE 2020 Annual Conference

Recent research publications present a stark view of the burgeoning issue of the lack of qualified teachers of Physics in our schools. Physics Partners is a charity striving to address this significant challenge through an ambitious programme designed to enhance the professional learning of those who teach and support physics. Supported by experienced Physics Partners trainers, this session will bring together primary teachers and non-specialist physics teachers to assist them to understand the common physics misconceptions associated with the teaching electricity and forces. The session will aim to deepen participants’ understanding of pedagogical approaches to these topics and include simple practical activities to stimulate and improve pupils’/students’ learning.
