GIREP-ICPE-EPEC Conference for all Physics Teachers

Mary Mullaghy 28 June 2017
The GIREP-ICPE-EPEC 2017 conference will take place in Dublin City University. The theme is ‘Bridging research and practice in physics education’.
Tuesday 4th July is a dedicated day to celebrate the teachers of physics. The programme for Tuesday will include two plenary presentations, from Dr. Paul van Kampen and Dr. Claudia Haagen-Schützenhöfer, that share research and experiences in the teaching and learning of physics. A range of workshops on classroom teaching ideas and practices are scheduled along with over 50 oral presentations from practitioners and researchers throughout the evening. The last session of the day is a live-link up symposium organised by Prof. Eric Mazur and AAPT colleagues to discuss Flipping the Physics Classroom. 
For primary and secondary teachers only there is one-day registration at cost price of €85. We will require you to bring proof of your employment as a teacher on the day. This one-day registration also includes an invitation to the laser spectacular show and welcome reception on Monday 3rd July.
 
This conference will be hosted by the Centre for the Advancement of Science and Mathematics Teaching and Learning (CASTeL) at Dublin City University (DCU), Ireland and is jointly organised by:
  • The Conference of International Research Group on Physics Teaching (GIREP)
  • European Physical Society – Physics Education Division (EPS PED) and
  • International Conference on Physics Education (ICPE) of the Commission C14 of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP).

STEM Transitions – bridging the gap between primary and post-primary education. The science event will be held on Thursday, 2nd October at St. Patrick’s College, Drumcondra from 6.00 – 9.00pm. If you would like to get involved please contact Tugba Aysel: tugba.aysel@dcu.ie

The National Initiative in STEM Education and Practice (N-STEP) is an initiative of 3U, a partnership that combines complementary strengths of Dublin City University, NUI Maynooth and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.  St. Patrick’s College, Drumcondra is leading one of the NStep projects and invites primary and post-primary educators with an interest in the teaching and learning of Science to participate in one of its events.   We are keen to address the challenges teachers and students face in transitioning from primary to post-primary education within Science subjects.   Our aim is to create a community of practice to identify positive solutions, share expertise and provide a network of support and action.   

Why participate?  This initiative will give teachers the opportunity to

  • Meet other practitioners
  • Harness expertise
  • Have their voices heard
  • Become part of a growing community of educators
  • Access support
  • Shape the future of transitions from primary to post-primary

The Mathematics event will be held on Thursday, 9th October at NUI Maynooth 7.00 – 9.00 pm.
