Research shows that student teachers in the UK remain sceptical about the value added to students' learning by using the Internet in science lessons

A group of researchers from Nottingham, Loughborough, Oxford and Nottingham Trent Universities has investigated how new teachers use ICT resources to support the teaching and learning of science.1

The researchers used questionnaires and focused discussion groups to collect information from nearly 600 student teachers over four years, representing ca 7 per cent of the science PGCE cohort in England.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
