[spsp-members] PhD on Drawing to Learn in Science

[Sophia Efstathiou]

Dear colleagues,

Sharing a PhD position at NTNU Norway that might interest some of your students!

--- You are welcome to contact Annette Lykknes (annette.lykknes at ntnu.no<mailto:annette.lykknes at ntnu.no>) or Helena Bichao (helena.bichao at ntnu.no<mailto:helena.bichao at ntnu.no>) for any queries regarding this position ---

"We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to participate in a research endeavor focusing on Drawing to Learn in Science, at NTNU, Norway.

Drawing to explore, model, represent and communicate scientific understanding and reasoning is inherent to scientific practice. The practice of drawing is intertwined with the history and nature of science in terms of how scientific knowledge is, and has been, produced and justified. When it comes to student learning, drawing has been shown to contribute to observation skill, enhanced recall, to make understanding explicit and to organize knowledge effectively, leading to deep learning. However, there is a lack of studies of how and why teachers include drawing activities in the science classrooms and how students engage in drawing as a science practice. Other relevant questions to ask are what knowledge and skills teachers need in order to make use of Drawing to Learn in Science in their classrooms, and how such knowledge and skills can be developed through pre- and in-service training. We are also interested in drawing as part of past teaching (and research) practices. If you have a research idea, approach or perspective within an area that we have not mentioned, we would still like to hear from you.

The PhD position is at the Department of Teacher education at NTNU. The position is connected to the ScienceHumanities research group coordinated from the Natural science section at the Department. The research group applies perspectives from the humanities and the social sciences to the study of natural science (including science in school) as a discipline and cultural practice, past and present.
