Dr Paul Warwick is engaged in a range of research and teaching activities in the Faculty that link directly with his interests in primary science education, the uses of technology in teaching and learning, and the professional development of trainee and beginning teachers. His research has focused on young pupils' developing understanding of the scientific approach to enquiry, the role of the technologies in the development of a dialogic classroom pedagogy and the development of teacher learning through lesson study. He has an interest in classroom assessment practices and the development of teachers as reflective practitioners - in particular, the ways in which beginning teachers create and sustain a professional identity.
