Content of the curriculum. If you're talking about GCSE (I know you're not) add #ASEslowchat

hrogerson Jul 3 @ 3:02 PM EDT

#ASEslowchat #asechat do you think that the increased content at primary will filter through to students who are more prepared for GCSE?

I would hope so but my concern is the amount of science that is covered at primary.Our feeders focus on skills development it seems #asechat

In reply to @hrogerson

hrogerson Jul 3 @ 3:04 PM EDT

Is it just GCSE content that has depth and breadth? What about how far one goes in previous key stages? #asechat

stormeducation Jul 3 @ 3:05 PM EDT

#asechat interesting question @hrogerson

hrogerson Jul 3 @ 3:02 PM EDT

#ASEslowchat #asechat do you think that the increased content at primary will filter through to students who are more prepared for GCSE?

ViciaScience Jul 3 @ 3:06 PM EDT

As well as traditional science content the primary NC includes some demanding maths for science skills #ASEChat #ASEslowchat

In reply to @hrogerson

hrogerson Jul 3 @ 3:07 PM EDT

Are we storing up problems if we don't teach for depth at KS1/2/3? #ASEChat #ASEslowchat

I think the issue of accountability is wider than science. Shouldn’t we start with EYFS/foundations and build? #ASEChat

#asechat but a school scheme is supposed to be bigger than N/C

In reply to @anhalf, @hrogerson, @MrChurchTweets

hrogerson Jul 3 @ 3:15 PM EDT

I like that the consensus is gcse should NOT drive the system. It could narrow the curriculum otherwise. No Earth and Space?. #asechat

MrChurchTweets Jul 3 @ 3:15 PM EDT

I think Primary goes some way to address this. Not perfect though. #asechat

In reply to @ViciaScience, @stevethedoc1, @hrogerson

ViciaScience Jul 3 @ 3:15 PM EDT

Agreed, but I rarely see this in secondary at moment. GCSE content seems to dominate Y7-Y11 #ASEChat #ASEslowchat

MrsSingleton Jul 3 @ 3:16 PM EDT

MrChurchTweets Jul 3 @ 3:17 PM EDT

There’s only one thing for it - scrap exams! (though how would we assess?) Can we trust teacher judgement? #ASEChat

In reply to @ViciaScience, @stevethedoc1, @anhalf, @hrogerson

MrsSingleton Jul 3 @ 3:18 PM EDT

But it's a shame that not all children are getting to experience this... especially if science is not a priority #ASEChat

In reply to @ViciaScience, @MrChurchTweets, @stevethedoc1, @hrogerson

ViciaScience Jul 3 @ 3:18 PM EDT

There is certainly a perception by teachers of there being too much science content to cover (even 3yr GCSE) #ASEChat #ASEslowchat

In reply to @MrsSingleton, @stevethedoc1, @anhalf, @hrogerson, @MrChurchTweets

MrsSingleton Jul 3 @ 3:19 PM EDT

We are doing 3 year GSCE and it will be tighter than first thought- especially for separate science #ASEChat

stevethedoc1 Jul 3 @ 3:19 PM EDT

#asechat question is why do we not want to trust teachers?

In reply to @MrChurchTweets, @ViciaScience, @anhalf, @hrogerson

MrChurchTweets Jul 3 @ 3:19 PM EDT

That’s where @Psqm_HQ comes in! Actually, lack of accountability at primary can negatively impact science status #ASEChat

In reply to @MrsSingleton, @ViciaScience, @stevethedoc1, @hrogerson, @Psqm_HQ

ViciaScience Jul 3 @ 3:20 PM EDT

I have much sympathy with that view. Judgement only questioned when need for comparability dominates system. #ASEChat #ASEslowchat

In reply to @MrChurchTweets, @stevethedoc1, @anhalf, @hrogerson

ViciaScience Jul 3 @ 3:21 PM EDT

#asechat #ASESlowChat agreed, especially as I still think the gcse content is flawed.

MrChurchTweets Jul 3 @ 3:16 PM EDT

The real question shld be “What science do all children need to function in a scientifically literate society?” NOT will this help my GCSE?
