Forum for science learning doctors

Science teachers at any level who are interested in exploring and exchanging ideas about specific student learning difficulties in science and how to overcome them are invited to join a web-based discussion forum. The forum focuses on the 'science learning doctors' approach to science teaching.  

A product of the Royal Society of Chemistry-sponsored Challenging chemical misconceptions in the classroom project, this model is based on a simple classification of learning 'bugs' that can hinder students' understanding of science or lead to common student misconceptions. The approach is designed to help teachers improve their diagnostic assessment skills in the classroom, and thus enable them to diagnose and to treat learning difficulties by analysing students' comments both in class and in written work.
