In our latest CEPEO Working Paper, @drsamsims.bsky.social studies the effects of an intervention to improve A level physics uptake among female students by countering gender stereotypes. Read the results here: econpapers.repec.org/paper/uclcep...

At least you didn't glue any digits together, that would have messed with your congratulatory handshake.

I think they're fully immersed in their sound engineer/production role. Also recent radical haircut, so no scope for Viking warrior plaits.

As long as you take a break of at least 10 mins and your mind is fully occupied 😉 With hindsight, my daughter playing videogames when she 'should have been revising' seems like it wasn't such a bad idea.

The earlier EEF research is discussed in the paper (and the recent follow up). There's always a tension between sample size and having tight control over adminstration of research trials remotely.

Some similarities, but data analysis by UCL education neuroscience team shows that the findings are *statistically significant*. We co-created a video resource that allowed tight control over the spaced learning input across schools and could be administered in a single science lesson.

We have tested with students, aged 14-16, but the approach and resource could lend itself to improving subject knowledge for those teaching physics out of field

💯 'we need to build a bigger table' then they wouldn't have to hold equipment, and sources, in their bare hands!
