Eilish McLoughlin

Dr.

Dr Eilish McLoughlin is an Associate Professor in the School of Physical Sciences at Dublin City University (DCU). She is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and a Chartered Physicist.

Dr McLoughlin has been a leader of physics education research and physics teacher education at Dublin City University since 2000. She is a founding member of DCU’s Research Centre for the Advancement of STEM Teaching and Learning (CASTeL) and served as Centre Director from 2008-2021.

Dr. McLoughlin has led several national programmes aimed at improving in-service teachers’ competence and confidence to teach physics/STEM at early childhood, primary and secondary level. In 2016, she founded the STEM Teacher Internship Programme to provide pre-service physics teachers with the unique opportunity to complete paid internships in a STEM role in industry. Dr. McLoughlin has led the national expansion of this programme to include pre-service primary and secondary STEM teachers from across seven Irish universities - funded through parternship with over 50 industry partners and Science Foundation Ireland. This programme has impacted on pre-service teachers’ understanding of integrated STEM education, supported them in designing learning opportunities based on real-world contexts, and fostered education–industry partnerships in STEM education.

Dr. McLoughlin has led several national programmes aimed at improving in-service teachers’ competence and confidence to teach physics at early childhood, primary and secondary level. In 2020, she designed the national upskilling Professional Diploma in Teaching Physics programme for secondary level teachers to become qualified to teach physics. She leads this first-of-a-kind programme to develop teachers’ content knowledge and experimental skills alongside their pedagogical knowledge for teaching physics, funded by the Department of Education. She led the Improving Gender Balance in Ireland project (2016-2019) which adopted a holistic approach to enhancing physics education at second level through supporting science teachers and students to address unconcious bias and build resilence in physics. This programme was supported through strategic partnerships with the Insitute of Physics and Science Foundation Ireland.

Dr. McLoughlin has also initiated and led several European projects focused on supporting pre-service and in-service teachers’ understanding and use of inquiry approaches in STEM education. She has facilitated science and mathematics teachers to carry out their own practitioner inquiry (RISE, STAMPEd, 3DIPhE), conduct remote inquiries (STEM Digitalis), foster open school and community partnerships (OSOS), and use inquiry-based learning and assessment approaches (ESTABLISH, SAILS).

She is passionate about sharing her experiences and research with teachers, educators and researchers across the globe through invited talks, conference presentations and publications. She has received recognition for her leadership in STEM education and engagement across formal and informal contexts, including:

Institute of Physics Lawrence Bragg Medal and Prize in recognition of outstanding leadership in physics teacher education and significant impact on the learning and teaching of physics in Ireland (2022).
DCU’s President’s Award for Engagement (2022).
Science Foundation Ireland Communicator of the Year (2019).
Institute of Physics Lise Meitner Medal for widening public engagement and education in physics (2019).
Fáilte Ireland National Conference Ambassador Award (2018).
DCU’s President’s Award for Engagement (2017).
National Award for Teaching Excellence (2010).
Institute of Physics Young Professional Physicist of the Year (2006).
DCU’s President’s Award for Teaching and Learning (2005).
DCU Teaching and Learning Fellowship (2005).

Enterprise Engagement

	Year	Engagement Type	Client	Description
	2014-2018	Continuous Professional Development/Training	Intel	The SmartClass project addresses the challenges of integrating tablet technology into classroom practice at Junior Cycle level. Intel have funded a prize to provide a tablet device to an entire first year cohort of Junior Cycle students with curriculum content for all subjects pre-loaded on it. CASTeL are responsible for providing professional development to the teachers, examining teacher’s pedagogical practices and evaluating the benefits, to both the teacher and the students, of the integration of tablet technology in classroom practice. In order for teachers to effectively integrate technology into classroom practice, several challenges have been identified, which include hardware, software, administration and support. However, teachers own beliefs and attitudes towards technology and pedagogy have been identified as intrinsic barriers specific to each teacher that must also be addressed. The Smartclass project brings together Intel, CASTeL and an Irish Second level school to collaboratively address all of these challenges.

Research Interests

Eilish's research is focused on STEM education, and in particular STEM teacher education at both pre-service and in-service levels and pedagogy and assessment at second and third level. Her research interests are in the implementation of innovative pedagogies, such as inquiry based learning and interdisciplinary approaches and the effective use of digital learning to enhance learning and engagement in STEM.
