Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Getting a realistic impression what is really going on in biology lessons is rather difficult for Students. Classrooms normally are closed in Austria. We wanted to open some of these doors giving students the opportunity to observe biology lessons in order to watch how key concepts of biology are taught in reality. Students will bring experiences and results from their field studies into the lecture. Observation will be discussed and used as a basic for developing own ideas of biology teaching. Teachers and biologists will be invited into a final workshop where they should comment student's products.

Assessment and permitted materials

Writen documentation and oral presentation of research results will be evaluated with criterias communicate during the first lecture.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- Pedagogical Content Knowledge as a key-issue of successful teaching & learning will be worked out linked with teaching pracice.
- Some useful recent conceptions of research in biology education will be experienced
- Learning communities will be established

Inquiry learning in classrooms
Teamwork
Action research: learning with practitioners
Qualitative methods for research on classroom teaching as tools for master or PhD theses.
