Impact of a CPD course for science teachers
Published in 2012, by the US Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences, this paper detailed how researchers examined the impact of the Making Sense of SCIENCE CPD course on 8th grade (Year 9) student achievement in science.
More than 100 Year 9 teachers were included in the sample. Making Sense of SCIENCE is a continuing professional development (CPD) course focused on force and motion. It incorporates physical science content, analysis of student work and thinking, and classroom teaching to develop teacher expertise about force and motion and science teaching.
