Embodied cognition in science teacher education
How can we introduce teachers to the potential of embodied cognition perspectives in science education? A new paper by my former PhD student, Dr Fridtjof Gjengset, takes a nuanced approach to give an answer to that question 🙂
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 💪
New paper: from intuition to intention
I am happy to share one outcome of our Science Education Network for Embodied Sense-making (SENSES) – a new paper published in the Journal of Science Teacher Education 🙂
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 🙌
Teachers' ideas and classroom practices in inquiry-based science education
Our latest study identifies two key challenges that prevent science teachers from fully implementing their educational ideals - and offers insights for improving teacher training and professional development 👩🏫
Building a dictionary for embodied science education
How do we translate insights from cognitive science into teaching tools? Together with the SENSES network, we're building a dictionary of embodied science education 📖
