IMPRESS season 8
Join us for a new season of IMPRESS, the International Modern Physics & Research in Education Seminar Series 👋
Astronomy education research – why, what & how?
I look forward to kicking off a new seminar series later this month, run through the International Capacity-Building in Astronomy Education Research (ICAER) project 🌟
Embracing changes together in physics education
How can the physics education community embrace changes together? I offered my answer as a keynote at the 4th World Conference of Physics Education in Kraków – and this answer just got published 💪
Embodied cognition and the limits of our understanding
Join me for an online talk with KORTIZES to explore the interplay between our bodies, cognition, and physics 💫
New paper: Metaphors beyond words
Metaphors don't just live in language – they are also enacted with the whole body. Our new paper in Science Education explores how science teachers use speech, gesture, and material objects to bring abstract concepts to life 🙌
Talking black holes in Warsaw
How do we understand objects that resist direct experience, observation, and description? I'm exploring this question at the HILL lab in Warsaw – join via Zoom on April 16th 💫
Embodied physics education - celebrating student research
Let’s celebrate my graduate student Pelle Bøgild, whose work shows how to align physical movement with physics concepts to improve learning and engagement 🪐
Announcing season 7 of IMPRESS
I am delighted to announce that the International Modern Physics & Research in Education Seminar Series (IMPRESS) is back and ready to launch its seventh(!) season with an excellent lineup of speakers and research in modern physics education 💥
From mathematics to STEM education: an unexpected journey
From chalk-dusted blackboards to embodied cognition research: A personal reflection on crossing disciplinary boundaries and finding unexpected career paths 🤓
Dual Lenses on Science Classroom Interaction: New Publication
When it comes to understanding how students learn physics concepts, sometimes we need to look through more than one lens 🔍🔍
Join KUPER's Unfinished Business 2
The Physics Education Research Group at the University of Copenhagen invites you to peek behind the curtain of our ongoing research projects at our interactive poster exhibition 🧁
Developing an Einsteinian science curriculum from years 3–10
Two new papers present our Einsteinian science curriculum from Years 3 to 10 and show how we can prepare teachers to confidently teach these topics 💪
Launching season 6 of IMPRESS - starting in October
I am delighted to announce season 6 of our International Modern Physics & Research in Education Seminar Series (IMPRESS) - check out the dates and speakers 💫
Metaphors in learning and doing physics
Clearly, metaphors are ubiquitous in physics. But what distinct roles do metaphors actually play in processes of doing, learning, and teaching physics? Together with Rubén Sampieri-Cábal I look for answers to this question 🙂
IMPRESS season 5
New year, new season of IMPRESS! Our favourite seminar series on modern physics education research returns for another season – mark the dates in your calendar 💥
Mapping out future directions in modern physics education
How can we modernise physics education? In our latest directions paper, we bring together four leading physics educators who present visions for the future of our field 🧭
From the cosmos to the classroom
How do science education, science communication, and public outreach intersect and overlap? And how do our evolving education and communication practices affect our understanding of science and its place in society? Together with Urban Eriksson, I wrote a feature for CERN Courier reflecting on these questions 📣
IMPRESS returns for a fourth season
Buckle up, physics fans! IMPRESS, the International Modern Physics & Research in Education Seminar Series, is back for its fourth season 🚀
Virtual reality in astronomy education
I'm excited to share our latest paper, in which we reflect on design principles for using virtual reality in astronomy education 💫
The future of physics education
IMPRESS, the monthly seminar series on modern physics education research, is hosting a symposium on the future of physics education. Get inspired by cutting-edge research and connect with like-minded colleagues on June 30 2023 🙂
