OK let's begin #asechat. Tonight's theme is our role in promoting STEM careers: is it part of a science teacher's job to do this? Why/not?

I thought previous iterations of the Nat curriculum science put more emphasis on this aspect than the current version? #ASEchat

In reply to @emilyjaneperry

emilyjaneperry Jun 26 @ 3:03 PM EDT

@ViciaScience is there any mention of careers in the curriculum at all #asechat?

ViciaScience Jun 26 @ 3:03 PM EDT

Seems to be two types of STEM career - traditional jobs instantly recognised as STEM, and every other job, which uses STEM skills #ASEchat

In reply to @emilyjaneperry

emilyjaneperry Jun 26 @ 3:04 PM EDT

@ViciaScience The question I have is whether teachers of other subjects feel this obligation to be part of a sector supply chain? #ASEchat

ViciaScience Jun 26 @ 3:06 PM EDT

Not aware of any mention of careers in the current nat curriculum. But then there is no mention of the aims or objectives either #ASEchat

ViciaScience Jun 26 @ 3:07 PM EDT

Maths - possibly not. PE, Music - possibly yes? #ASEchat

#asechat I'm not sure what real jobs modern scientists do in reality, or at least those with science degrees. Glossy posters don't help.

In reply to @emilyjaneperry

ViciaScience Jun 26 @ 3:09 PM EDT

Do teachers of any subject think they should encourage their pupils to become teachers (of any subject)? #ASEChat

In reply to @emilyjaneperry

emilyjaneperry Jun 26 @ 3:09 PM EDT

@ViciaScience Interesting. A qu for @kiwiinsheffield - do PE teachers feel an obligation to feed the supply chain of sports people? #ASEchat

emilyjaneperry Jun 26 @ 3:11 PM EDT

@Science_HOD Does this concern you? Do you feel it matters to your teaching? #ASEchat

ViciaScience Jun 26 @ 3:11 PM EDT

Not sure if they feel an obligation, but I am sure many encourage pupils to become involved in sport, #ASEchat

In reply to @emilyjaneperry, @kiwiinsheffield

ViciaScience Jun 26 @ 3:12 PM EDT

That is what I thought too - in the current climate #ASEchat

In reply to @Science_HOD, @emilyjaneperry

emilyjaneperry Jun 26 @ 3:13 PM EDT

@ViciaScience What specifically about the current climate? Why not encourage students to be teachers? @Science_HOD #ASEchat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jun 26 @ 3:13 PM EDT

The current version is very non-committal on anything resembling "soft skills" or contextualisation. Cold hard facts. #asechat
