Andrew C Bullough BSc (Biol), Dip Phys Ed, PGCE, MA Autism
Senior Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Fellow, Course Leader - MA Professional Practice in Education
Summary
I am a senior research fellow at Sheffield Institute of Education's Centre for Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and Knowledge Exchange. My interests focus on curriculum development, especially in terms of the design of teaching and learning resources and their associated theories. I work on projects with a range of partners and clients with STEM and SEND contexts. I am passionate about the application of cognitive science to support student engagement and progression in science.
About
I am proud to have worked on a broad range of projects many being influential such as the Pupil Ï㽶ÊÓƵer Initiative which heavily influenced the formation of STEM ambassadors scheme and new CPD approaches through the Science Learning centre network. With Cre8ate maths I was project manager on a project that brought in over a million pounds to SHU and achieved National acclaim with the maths strategies. In terms of traditional academic publications I have few however in terms of of teaching and learning resource material production I have many publications of which a large proportion are available online for public download. Of these I am proudest of writing the original assessment tasks for KS3 QCA science. (these were an early online publication that achieved over 50,000 downloads in 3 years). I also love informal learning and have arranged approximately 50 such events for over 7000 school students at venues as varied as The Deep, Sheffield Winter Garden, English Institute of Sport, W5, the Royal Institution and The Houses of Parliament.
