Greetings from Sacred Heart College, Kochi!
We are happy to announce that Sacred Heart College (Autonomous), Thevara, Kochi, jointly with Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune and the British Council, is organising a three-day pedagogy workshop for undergraduate science teachers from October 11th to 14th 2017 (at Riviera Suites, Thevara).
The workshop is meant for teachers of all disciplines such as Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Earth Science, Engineering and Technology. It will introduce participants to research-based pedagogical tools that focus on the process of science rather than facts. It will be a hands-on workshop with participants preparing their own teaching tools in groups and reviewing those of others. The teachers will also get an opportunity to share their own teaching innovations with their peers and experts in the field.
The workshop will be conducted by a team of trainers from the Sheffield Hallam University, UK and Indian experts from the area of education and policy. There are no charges to the participants selected for this workshop. Travelling Allowance will be given to selected participants.
The organisers will
select ~150 teachers from the nominations received.
This
is a great opportunity for professional development for all teachers and the
chance to interact with their counterparts from various colleges and education
experts from India and learn from each other’s experience. From the tools
developed during the workshop, scalable tools that could be deployed by other teachers will
be identified and added to a national database. Selected
participants will also get to participate in a Level 2 workshop later, that
will focus on making them trainers for conducting similar trainings at local
level.
Wishes,
Dr. Pius Augustine & Dr. Siby Mathew
