Support for classroom-based research
Are you a teacher aspiring to education research?
Financial support and mentoring is up for grabs for teachers interested in carrying out small chemistry education research projects in 2019.
For example, you could propose ‘something you do already, something that may reduce your workload in the long run, or something you find interesting or important,’ suggests chemistry teacher Rob Campbell, who was awarded a teacher–researcher fellowship last year. In 2018, Rob and four other fellows pursued diverse topics from lab protocols that reduce cognitive load to flipped learning videos that prepare students for practical skills questions in exams. Along the way, they shared useful findings with other teachers, presented at conferences and published papers.
