I have just started teaching about uniform electric fields and somehow this time it went wrong. I blame teaching online, because firstly, I don’t get the same level of feedback, and secondly, somehow learning online does not make the concepts ‘real’ to the student. There is something that happens when learning physics, where students areContinue reading “Deliberate practice and trying something new”

Teaching about electric fields
I find teaching fields hard. It is by far the most abstract part of the A level course, and if I am not careful it can degenerate into ‘here are the definitions and this is how you apply the equations’. This is especially true with online learning, where discussion is more difficult and it isContinue reading “Teaching about electric fields”
