We are looking for a PhD candidate to join us for a research project exploring how primary school science teachers can foster nature connectedness in their students 🔍
Models are at the core of scientific inquiry. In my latest piece for the Norwegian Centre for Science Education, I use the history of gravity as a case study to illustrate how models become crucial tools in advancing scientific knowledge.
In this December issue, I explore what good science education looks like and how it's transforming classrooms in Denmark and across the world. You'll get an insider's look at one of our STEM teacher courses; there is a reflection on the future of physics education and a podcast on interpreting quantum physics. As we wrap up this exciting and challenging year, I invite you to join me in envisioning an even brighter future for science education in 2024.
How do science education, science communication, and public outreach intersect and overlap? And how do our evolving education and communication practices affect our understanding of science and its place in society? Together with Urban Eriksson, I wrote a feature for CERN Courier reflecting on these questions 📣
In this autumnal edition, I reflect on the essence of a summer filled with conferences and reunions. The highlight? Hosting the ESERA SIG6 Meeting in Copenhagen, a gathering focused on the interplay between languages and literacies in science education. Discover how you can join our open monthly journal clubs and contribute to the discourse on science education. Also, don't miss updates on new projects like City-Lab: Galileo and the latest research in VR-based astronomy education.
I am proud to have hosted the ESERA SIG6 Meeting 2023 in Copenhagen. With about 30 scholars participating in vibrant discussions on languages and literacies in science education, the event was a great success 🥳
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.
