Description

The National Resource Centre for Physics Education (NRCF) at LU is a centre that servers the Swedish physics teachers nationally, with resources in terms of materials, activities, professional development, etc. It has a long and successful history and since November last year Urban Eriksson is new director for the centre. Urban has long experience of teacher education and professional development courses for teacher from his prior position at Kristianstad University which will be useful in his new role as director. Also, NRCF is deeply intertwined with the newly formed Lund University Physics Education Research (LUPER) group, which primary focus on research on teaching and learning physics at university level but also at upper secondary school level. In this talk Urban will address the coming activities for NRCF and LUPER and how these can be beneficial for faculty at the departments of physics, and theoretical physics and astronomy.

The first digital Mötesplats Rydberg will be given by Urban Eriksson, Tuesday, 23 March 2020, at 3.15 p.m. Please join at https://lu-se.zoom.us/j/376338561.
