We met Liz Coppard, a doctoral student, at the ASE conference earlier this month. Liz, who is from Oxford Brookes University, is carrying out a research project looking at how
teachers deliver the ‘matter’ and ‘materials’ sections of the National Curriculum in the Key
Stages 2 and 3 Science Programmes of Study.
Could you help?
Liz is seeking teachers and schools
to help with her research and is keen to hear from those who teach
science to years 4,5 and 7 who could assist by completing a short, anonymous online
questionnaire. The questionnaire for primary
teachers can be found at www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PriSciTeachSurvey and the questionnaire for secondary
teachers can be found at www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/SecSciTeachSurvey
In
addition, Liz would like to hear from primary
and secondary school teachers who would be interested in
participating in a short interview focussing on how they teach the materials strand of the national curriculum in KS2 and
KS3. She would also like to hear from primary and secondary schools who would be willing for her to do some lesson observations. She would be willing to work as a voluntary teaching assistant as a participant observer.
If you would like to discuss this further please email Liz on: elizabeth.coppard-2016@brookes.ac.uk
