Publications and Articles

There have been some recent and exciting publications stemming from the AstraZeneca Science Teaching Trust Projects. Many publications are in practitioner journals such as the Primary School Science Review or the School Science Review where practical outcomes of the projects are described. Other more detailed and theoretically focussed articles can be found in scholarly journals.

As these publications grow in number these pages will begin to present a synthesis of what has been learned and begin a forum for professional discourse concerning primary science. In addition, AZSTT will be launching a Journal called Science Futures that is designed to capture practice based research and allow rapid publication of innovations in science education.

Abstract

This paper will report the findings of a pilot project that brought together experienced teachers in special schools in N. Ireland with pre-service teachers.

The emphasis, through a co-teaching model, was on blending the knowledge and expertise of both groups in ways that would enhance the teaching and learning environment for students with special educational needs (SEN). The overall project involved pre-service teachers from a number of disciplines, however, for the purpose of this paper; the focus is on those preparing to teach science.
