PhD Studentship in Science Education Reform
Applications are invited for a 3-year ESRC PhD studentship, working within a major new research project The Enactment and Impact of Science Education Reform (EISER).
Dr. Jim Ryder directs the project. It is funded jointly by the ESRC and The Gatsby Charitable Foundation.
The successful candidate will join a team of researchers working on the EISER research project at the School of Education, University of Leeds.
In September 2006, the statutory Key Stage 4 science curriculum in England underwent radical reform. The aim of the EISER project is to learn more about how this reform is being enacted in schools and its impact on students’ attainment, attitudes to science and progression choices.
The PhD studentship will provide an analysis of the classroom activities of a small number of teachers and how these change over time in response to curriculum demands and engagement in professional development activities.
This is an exciting opportunity to gain a doctorate researching, perhaps, the most important reform of science education in England of recent times.
The scholarship would suit an applicant with a Masters level qualification in education, social sciences or psychology. Applicants should also have a degree level qualification at 2:1 or equivalent, and ‘established UK residency’ following published ESRC criteria.
The studentship will start in October 2008. The closing date for applicants is 1 August 2008.
For further information about the project, please contact Dr. Jim Ryder (phone: 0113 343 4589; email: j.ryder@education.leeds.ac.uk).
For information about how to apply, please email Sue Haines or you can apply online or download an application form.
