Postgraduate students attended a 1.5-hour workshop taught by a communication expert to develop communication skills and deliver engaging presentations. They were then asked to develop a 10-minute podcast…

The importance of research capacity-building in teacher education is highlighted to enable teachers to be change agents who continually develop their own and the school's collective practices, which again presupposes that the teacher educators themselves are research literate. However, teacher educators come from different backgrounds and have…

To address the issue of gender disparity in participation in the physics state matriculation exam, a novel school visit program was designed.
