Please inform your RO about your attendance at these workshops.

We look forward to seeing you.


Please note that with effect from January 2016, Course Administrator will not be able to accept and generate “Course Placement Letter” through Traisi to the Nominated Participants 3 Working Days before the course commencing date. Traisi system will automatically reject the participants application. Please apply for Traisi course earlier.

Objective

Presenters will introduce the 8 Practices of Science Education adapted from the Science Framework for K-12 Science Education as the design principles behind this ICT-enabled practice.

Presenters will also demonstrate effective use of Tracker, the video analysis tool,
for analysis and interpretation of phenomena and in-depth model building. Participants will be oriented to the Tracker Shared Library where available models for physics concepts such as free fall, projectile motion, frictional motion and collision model can be found.
By the end of the session, participants should be able to:
- Describe in detail at least one of the 8 practices of K12 science education framework
- Download, Install (watch video if need help) and use tracker basic analysis
- Create at least one model in tracker for Practice 5 (mathematical and computational thinking)

Synopsis

This project seeks to allow students to be like scientists (obtain real data from physical phenomena, engage in making inference and deducing how the physical world work) through video analysis.
Benefits of the project include, student self-directing (Gibbons, 2002) at different pace/depth real-life video analysis, teachers’ differentiated mentoring instructions, using scientific Physics education video analysis tool(s) that are low cost, easy to use and already scaling-up in the world, using the K12 science education framework.

What do you like best about the session?

  1. Handson component to work on the software
  2. Synchronize video with graphs
  3. Interactive and targeted instruction
  4. Practical and practice using tracker. 
  5. The use of Tracker


What are the areas of improvement for the session?

  1. Time to work on something that we can bring back to class to carry out our lessons during workshop
  2. More explicit instructions for its first functions
  3. Start with basics of tracker as most participants are new to tracker
  4. How to use platform in classroom and some lesson plans 
  5. Perhaps clearer lesson objectives at the beginning of the session. However it is good to note that the presenter vary the approach to cater to the needs of the participants. 


What is your main reason for NOT intending to trial/implement the featured tools?

  1. Lack of infrastructural support
  2. Not teaching kinematics yet
  3. Lack of manpower support
  4. Difficulty of use
  5. I will use it!
