Description

This study presents the results of an evaluation of a teacher professional learning summer school, designed to develop the in-service science/mathematics teachers pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for teaching physics. Workshops were facilitated online on a range of topics, including active learning, catering for diverse learners, formative and summative assessment, making connections, digital technologies, and the use of research to inform practice. Findings from a thematic analysis of units of learning designed by teachers will be discussed and provide insights into the influence of this programme on in-service teachers PCK for teaching physics.
