Thinking about actions to take: Accumulating Changes
Teaching Guidance
for 14-16
There's a good chance you could improve your teaching if you were to:
Try these
- be clear about the role that mathematics is playing
- separate convention from empirical discovery
- Focus on fundamental relationships
Teacher Tip: Work through the Physics Narrative to find these lines of thinking worked out and then look in the Teaching Approaches for some examples of activities.
Avoid these
- mistaking technical fluency for understanding
- presenting the topic as a series of definitions
Teacher Tip: These difficulties are distilled from: the research findings; the practice of well-connected teachers with expertise; issues intrinsic to representing the physics well.
