Task purpose | This guidebook has been designed to support teachers, teaching assistants, education practitioners and ambassadors attending our CPD Seminar Series for primary schools. The CPD examines how scholarly thinking, questioning and disciplinary knowledge can support students to understand how their curriculum links, and better appreciate the nature of science in real world and multidisciplinary contexts. |
Abstract | his guidebook has been designed to support teachers, teaching assistants, education practitioners and ambassadors attending our CPD Seminar Series for Primary schools. The CPD examines how scholarly thinking, questioning and disciplinary knowledge can support students to understand how their curriculum links, and better appreciate the nature of science in real world and multidisciplinary contexts. However, you can still use this guidebook individually or as a team to consider how you can support your students to be more epistemically insightful and understand how their curriculum subjects relate to each other and the “real world”. Throughout this guidebook you will find short activities that are designed to deepen your understanding (and sometimes challenge misperceptions). The activities and following reflections are there to support you to develop (or make explicit) an epistemically insightful curriculum for your students. |
