Why don’t teachers use education research in teaching? Paul MacLellan spoke to researchers and teachers to find out and recieved some interesting answers.
In this issue’s CPD article, Joe Ogborn described how to introduce inorganic chemical tests and use them to develop students’ problem-solving skills. This prompted a reader to send their suggestions to us.
Ann Marie Farrell and Michael Seery considered the diversity of learners in every classroom and offer some ideas for how to meet students’ language and literacy needs within chemistry. In response, Naomi Hennah recommended some techniques to help students get to grips with the meanings of the words we use in science, particularly those that may have different meanings in everyday life.
