Journal Title: Acta Didactica Napocensia - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The value teachers put on university-based outreach activities designed for 14 -16 year olds that involves both practical and lecture activities are discussed. A variety of good reasons for attending are provided by the teachers but the role of a School Teacher Fellow in mapping the events to the curriculum is shown to be vital to the success of any event. The pre-event difficulties needing to be overcome in engaging with universities are discussed with health and safety and in particular paperwork associated with this being cited as a particular barrier to engagement.
