24TRA066 Evidence informed practice in science education: sharing what works in my science classroom.
Date : Tuesday, 27th February 2024
Time : 7.00pm - 8.00pm
Venue : Online
Target Audience: The webinar will be aimed at teachers of Junior Cycle Science and Leaving Cert Biology, although teachers of other Senior Cycle sciences may also find it useful.
The webinar will present the basics of cognitive science, with deeper exploration of retrieval practice and Rosenshein's Principle of Instruction, and explore how these can be applied in the science classroom in a practical way. I will also share elements of my practice that have proven effective, time-saving and enjoyable for students.
