In this webinar, two education researchers discuss the advantages and challenges of inquiry and theme-based project work, where students explore interdisciplinary content (e.g. Race to Space). MOOC participants are invited to ask questions and share their experiences and views on the topic during the live event.
Christian Andersson Malmö University. I have a master’s degree in theoretical physics from 2005 and received my teacher degree in 2007. During my time as upper secondary school teacher in physics and mathematics, I worked in many projects that aimed to connect learning and science curricula to the local community. This included having students collect data, draw conclusions, and report to the public, local authorities, stakeholders and decision makers.
Currently I work in parallel with teacher education and towards a Phd in didactics of the natural sciences and mathematics. The focus of my research is how big data analytics, AI, and machine learning may reframe discussions on democracy and social stainability in classrooms.
Jesper Bruun (PhD), Department of Science Education, University of Copenhagen. I have a background in physics from the Niels Bohr Institute, and my PhD and academic work is in Physics Education Research (PER). In my research, I develop and test new teaching formats – and use network analysis to investigate teaching and learning in physics.
In this live event, we listen to particle scientists Christine Darve and Kim Lefmann talk about their work with particle accelerators.
Kim Lefmann
Kim Lefmann (PhD), University of Copenhagen. I have worked with neutron scattering 30+ years, first as instrument scientist at Risø National Laboratory, since 2008 as professor at the Niels Bohr Institute. I chair the Danish Neutron Scattering Society (DANSSK). In my research, I specialize in neutron investigations of magnetic and superconducting materials, as well as simulation of neutron scattering instruments.
Christine Darve (PhD), European Spallation Source. I have worked at CERN and Fermilab (USA) before joining the ESS in Sweden. Beyond Particle Accelerator design & operation, I have established several outreach and educational programs, e.g.co-founder of African School of Physics (ASP), and Nordic Particle Accelerator Project (NPAP). I am the Chair of the Forum on International Physics (FIP) at the American Physical Society (APS).
A TeachMeet is an informal way of sharing ideas, good practices, lesson plans, etc. It is also a great way to network with other teachers and educators! Save the date for the TeachMeet on 9 November in which you will get to exchange with your peers. We will share best practices and great ideas for your Learning Scenario. At the end of this TeachMeet, you will also have a chance to ask questions to the speakers.
Connection details
These events will take place via Microsoft Teams meeting. You can join a Microsoft Teams meeting by using an invite link which will be shared with you before the event. You can then launch or download the Teams app, or simply join using your web browser (no download required). The easiest way is to join anonymously (no account or sign in required). Alternatively, if you have an educational license, you can sign into your Microsoft account. Here, you can find more information on how to join a Microsoft Teams meeting. As an attendee of a meeting in Teams, you can watch live events and participate in the moderated Q&A, but you cannot share audio or video.
Please note that this Microsoft Teams service allows audio and other information sent during the session to be recorded, which may be discoverable in a legal matter. By joining this session, you automatically consent to such recordings. If you do not consent to being recorded, discuss your concerns with the host or do not join the session.
The recording will be shared in the current section shortly after the event.
