Researching the Use of the i-Book Within the Primary Science Specialist Programme
Published in late 2013, this report contains the findings of a research study which looked into the use of electronic books (e-books or i-books) within continuous professional development (CPD).
The research looked in particular at the way that teachers on the 2013-14 National STEM Learning Centre and Network Primary Science Specialist course used an i-book resource to complement their CPD.
It discusses the way in which i-books are used in CPD and how the ways in which learners read, are taught, and learn needs to change in order to maximise the benefits of e-books in their studies. It also provides an insight into the impact the i-book had on the science subject knowledge of the teachers, both in terms of reinforcing what they already know, and in extending their learning. Included in the resource is a short guide for successful use of the i-book resources.
This research commissioned by the Wellcome Trust was carried out by the Isos Partnership.
