PGCE Physics Interview Tips

Hi, I have been invited to attend an online interview for PGCE Secondary Physics from Edge Hill University. I am excited to start interview preparation and would greatly appreciate any tips ya'all can provide.

I have been asked to present "Forces and their effects" to KS3.

Does anyone have any idea what kind of questions can be asked?

I will advise that for your presentation, consider the qualities of a good lesson such as:
1)Stating the lesson objectives
2)Engaging the learners. You can use different approaches for this: Multimedia content to depict your explanations, interesting experiments e.t.c

Generally, you should check the qualities of a good lesson to guide your presentation. The interviewers want to see whether you are aware of the what makes up a good lesson. You should try to show that in your presentation.

Hi @Yawer_123

Congratulations on your interview!

If you haven't done so already, I would check out the interview prep page for PGCE Physics on our website. The link can be found here: https://www.edgehill.ac.uk/applicants/interviewfoe/pgce-physics/

The page has some articles that you can read that might be useful to familiarise yourself with current issues in around education, as well as what to expect, etc.

I hope this helps and best of luck!
