Abstract
This is a synopsis of an Interactive Poster for the ICASE World Conference STE 2010 ...
This poster presents a constructivist framework for a model of short-term professional development, which was offered to secondary school science teachers in Australia, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Despite the popular view maintained in the literature, it was found that one-day workshops could be modelled on constructivist principles and can indeed facilitate conceptual change in the teachers. Based on observational data, interviews with the workshop designers and 38 teachers, it is possible to offer here a three-part constructivist framework for short-term professional development.
