We're all set to IMPRESS you! In this June 2023 edition, we put a spotlight on the much-anticipated IMPRESS Symposium. A sparkling get-together of engaging talks, innovative research, and stimulating debates, we promise it's going to be a blast. As if that's not enough, we take a deep dive into inquiry-based science teaching and explore how embodied cognition can boost computational literacy in STEM.

The May 2023 issue takes you on an adventure from cozy home offices to a real-life meeting in Sweden. It's a tale of how Zoom turned into an international collaboration, leading to a published paper that's not just any paper - it's a dialogue between different academic traditions! Plus, we'll dive into the nitty-gritty of embodied cognition, share hot-off-the-press research, and embark on a quantum quest in modern physics education.

FAQ · 14 April 2022
Embodied cognition in science education serves as an umbrella term for different approaches to bodily learning processes in science. The study of embodied cognition builds on the assumption that we can improve our understanding of the mind by characterising the role of the body in cognition. Science education provides a vital proving ground for embodied theories of cognition: science deals with the world around us & learners understand & experience this world through & with their bodies.
