This self-paced on-line course is aimed at teachers who, for the duration of this course, will work as scientists, learning those all important skills such as the ability to observe, question, predict, investigate, measure and analyse. Skills can be practiced and honed as you explore content areas of human life, plants, light, sound, magnetism and electricity, the properties of materials and the environment within which we live.

The on-line format of the course enables you to study when and where you want to learn. Content is divided into 5 modules which you can complete in any order within an 8 week period (1st July to 22nd August 2008).

Participants are encouraged to interact with one another using the communication tools (forum, chat, e-mail) provided by the CPD College learning system. Active facilitation throughout the course provides expert interaction, guidance and feedback for all participants. Assignments and questions which call for critical reflection, self-analysis and a reasoned response punctuate this highly interactive web based course.

On completion of the course the participant will be presented with their own time record, excercise content and approval by the course facilitator as their CPD record to keep.

All courses are DES approved for EPV days
