Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The international PISA study has shown that pupils competences in problem solving leave much to be desired. Therefore, to generate hypotheses, to plan, implement and evaluate an experiment, and to draw conclusions from results should be actively promoted in biology lessons. What problems have pupils in the conduct of experiments? And how can (prospective) teachers handle them?
In this project we investigate - in close exchange with pupils of a Viennese gymnasium - the fostering and hindering conditions for experimentation in the classroom.
