Questionnaire to all HEI Education Tutors involved in science ITT

Questionnaire to all HEI Education Tutors involved in Science ITT

Primary and Secondary

Project: Support Pack: The TTA is funding a joint ATSE, AST, SCI centre project to provide on-line and regional support for newly appointed (and serving) tutors and mentors in science teacher education.

We had sent an initial questionnaire to make contact with as many colleagues as possible and to obtain information about experience and specific areas of expertise. We are grateful to all who registered and offered to help the project.

Questionnaire 2 comes with additional topic areas. We would appreciate your response to this questionnaire if you are willing to offer help in the writing of the topic areas below.

We have allocated £600 for each unit to enable us to pay an honourarium (£100 - £200 each) for material supplied, to compensate you for the time taken to find, collect, sort and dispatch the material. All material used on the site carries this copyright statement:

“This document can be freely copied and amended if used for educational purposes. It must not be used for commercial gain. The author(s) and web source must be acknowledged whether used as it stands or whether adapted in any way.”

Questionnaire 2

1. Name of the Institution
2. Your Name (Forename & Surname):
3. Email
4. How many years you have been involved in science ITT in higher education?
5. Would You be interested in contributing materials to the project		YES NO

If you have ticked YES please read and select some topic areas from the following and click Submit. The Project aims to produce support materials (on-line and down-loadable) to help new (and existing) ITT science tutors both to organise and to teach their trainees. These materials and structures are already available in individual institutions, so the aim is to share good practice. We are asking you to identify those areas of expertise that you feel your course has something special to contribute.

6. Please select topic areas (references are to the Standards in ‘02/02’) for which you are prepared to contribute materials or expertise
