PGCE (Physics) interview this week
- Thread starter Dinomania
- Start date
Good luck..!!!
I'm rather luckily able to go into a subject which is very under-subscribed. Although it sounds like my place will be conditional upon doing a load of chem and bio revision, and going for another week of observation (fair enough, 'twas my plan anyway).

I don't think any of those questions have a 'right' answer, your best bet is to answer without hesitation and with confidence in what you feel is correct, even if they are not, you have shown you don't have fear to speak what you feel and nerves don't get the best of you.

No, well indeed.
I was asked when I started thinking about teaching, as I've been in the electronics industry now for 3+ years in 3 different companies (I graduated at a time when none of them were technically recruiting, but took me on as a temp for as long as their coffers would allow) and have been in my current position for nearly two years.
Answer: I've thought about it every time I've been between jobs... but this time the thought came back strongly a year into my current job - so I figure this time it's my decision instead of a last-resort choice brought on by joblessness.
I was also asked what I thought would be the hardest thing about teaching - I gave two answers, one silly: That in real life I speak freely and with a bit of a Carry-On innuendo-ey sense of humour and having to curb that but keep my personality would be interesting (which kicked off a short discussion about a teaching persona) - and that led into the real answer that I'm likely to have a hard time separating myself from the stress and worry of the well-being or bad behaviour of the kids and taking it personally. Apparently it was good that I knew my limitations... We'll see...!

Good luck.
Don't mis-spell physics as fizzics and you should be fine.
