Comenius Teaching Fellow granted to team Freek Pols

The Comenius Teaching Fellow has been granted to the project of Forrest Bradbury, University College Amsterdam, in which TU Delft is also involved. They will be developing a lab course in which students use sensors in mobile phones and arduinos.

In the lab course students ultimately ask and answer their own research question and use simple and cheap sensors to learn how to do a scientific inquiry.

As an expert in the field of didactics, Freek Pols is part of the team. He has contributed in writing the proposal, will provide advice concerning the course and will help in determining the learning outcomes. The ideas formulated in the proposal show many similarities with the ideas concerning the development of our own first-year physics practicals. Outcomes of the lab course can therefore be directly translated into our own practicals.
