If you have an interest in all aspects of science, but in particular physical sciences associated with forces, energy, electrical effects, and enjoy investigating them in a practical setting, then Our Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Secondary Education physics course will suit you. Our course looks at the key ideas which underpin the teaching of science in schools today and the way children’s understanding of concepts develops. As a trainee you will learn how to teach physics to pupils in the 11-16 age range within the secondary age phase, with additional primary and post-16 enhancements. You will learn how to develop skills, knowledge, and understanding for teaching physics through a combination of university-led and school-led training.
You will have interest in all aspects of science along with a particular aptitude for physics, along with an ability to think creatively about presenting the subject to others in original and practical ways. Candidates will be expected to teach the whole science curriculum, but with a particular focus on physical processes. Above all, you will need a real commitment to the education of young people. Also you will need:
For example Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of science (BSc) etc. or similar . They are sometimes known as ‘undergraduate’ or ‘first‘ degrees.
