The ideas in these videos are drawn from a long history in science education, mostly through work with science teachers at schools in very disadvantaged situations. I qualified as a Physical Science and Mathematics teacher in 1966 and taught in high schools in South Africa and the UK for five and half years before moving to the tertiary sector. I was involved with friends in setting up the Science Education Project (SEP) in 1980, an NGO that worked with teachers in South African "township" and rural schools to promote a more hands on and science processes approach to teaching. I have also been involved in science teacher education as a senior lecturerer at a number of universities in South Africa. With support from the Solon Foundation, I have worked intensively since 1998 in support of science teachers in deep rural areas in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Lesotho.
I would welcome and any comments, ideas and suggestions - via brian@scienceteachingalive.com
