Primary pathways: elementary pupils’ aspiration to be engineers and STEM subject interest (2022)
Journal Article
Edmonds, J., Lewis, F., & Fogg Rogers, L. (2022). Primary pathways: elementary pupils’ aspiration to be engineers and STEM subject interest. International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 12(3), 221-234. https://doi.org/10.1080/21548455.2022.2067906

Across Europe, there is concern about the number and diversity of pupils taking study routes leading to Engineering. There is growing evidence that these career choices begin to form at elementary school age (Moote et al., 2020). Science, maths and d...

Combining drama with physical models to support understanding in science (2022)
Journal Article
Edmonds, J. (2022). Combining drama with physical models to support understanding in science. Primary Science, May/June 2022(173), 14-15

Many science concepts can be easily experienced in primary school science, such as cars travelling down ramps and plants growing. For other, more abstract, concepts, such as digestion, circulation and how sound travels through the air, it is challeng...

Engineering science education: The impact of a paired peer approach on subject knowledge confidence and self-efficacy levels of student teachers (2021)
Journal Article
Lewis, F., Edmonds, J., & Fogg-Rogers, L. (2021). Engineering science education: The impact of a paired peer approach on subject knowledge confidence and self-efficacy levels of student teachers. International Journal of Science Education, 43(5), 793-822. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500693.2021.1887544

Teacher performance has been linked with both self-efficacy and subject knowledge confidence suggesting that it is important to address these aspects within initial teacher training programmes. This study investigated the development of pre-service t...
