COURSE EVALUATIONS – SUMMARY

7 DELEGATES

100% of delegates said they thought the course was either 'good’ or ‘very good' with 100% saying it was 'very good'

SOME COMMENTS FROM THE DELEGATES:

‘I found the whole day useful to gain more knowledge to be able to interpret and support pupils better’
‘A few of the demonstrations were extremely effective in modelling the concepts at a level the students understand’
‘I found the course very helpful because of the good clear explanations of the concepts and good ideas for models’
‘The aspects of the course I found helpful were the demonstration ideas for a difficult topic to teach, the resource book to help pupils revise and past paper questions already selected for the topic ’.


HOW COULD THE COURSE BE MADE BETTER?


DELEGATES IDENTIFIED FUTURE INSET NEEDS:

EDEXCEL P3 training
Core Physics
Same again for units 9 and 10
New GCSE Physics 2011 ideas and resources especially reflecting telescopes
P2 topics 9 and 10 - a similar course

A FEW STUDENT COMMENTS:

‘Some of the experiments were interesting because they showed me what the teacher was trying to explain and helped me understand a bit better.’
‘I enjoyed the practical parts of the lesson because they made it easier for me to understand what was being taught to me’
‘The experiments were more exciting than normal teaching’.
‘The good teaching by the teacher. Very clear and made the topic more understandable ’

HOW COULD THE LESSON BE IMPROVED?

‘More experiments’
‘Do more ‘self’ experiments’
‘Get the students more involved in the lessons’

WHAT FURTHER SUPPORT DID STUDENTS IDENTIFY?
‘Onlne site with Powerpoint sheets etc for students to access during lesson and for revision’
