Milena Vujanovic (2023 – present) Effective professional development in science – the teachers’ perspective

Every year, CERN offers numerous professional development programmes for high-school science teachers to keep up-to-date with the latest development in particle physics and related areas. Milena’s research will identify the impact of the teacher programmes on the participants themselves by using the framework of playful tests (ie concept maps). Furthermore, the project will focus on investigating teachers’ views on and preferences for professional development programmes to support the ongoing research-based development of CERN’s teacher programmes.
