INT: Interdisciplinary approaches and physics in STEM education
This study examines students' conceptions about the greenhouse effect using multiple-choice questions and analyses student’s answers from two perspectives: the "knowledge as theory" and "knowledge in pieces" perspectives. The former emphasizes coherence and stability, while the latter highlights context-dependency and fragmentation. Findings reveal that 30% of the 501 German A-level students...
The project “FisicaMente al Liceo” aims at strengthening students’ mathematization skills and their understanding of physics. After a trial in a pilot school, in 2022 we started an experimentation with twelve teachers belonging to five high schools in the network of the “Licei Matematici” in our region in Italy. The creation of a community of practice of teachers allowed co-designing pathways...
We present a project called ATENA – Asiago Teachers’ Network on Astrophysics. Based on authentic collaboration and action research, a teacher learning community was set up around the common research question of how Astronomy can be integrated into the secondary school curriculum to foster a coherent comprehension of the physics of the Universe. Four physics topics across the different grades...
The talk presents the central elements of and thoughts behind the two-day student laboratory Labs4Future. This extracurricular offer for 15-year-old high school students tries to manage the linking of knowledge about climate change with effective individual and societal action. Based on a newly developed theoretical framework Lessons4Future, which integrates environmental psychology, sociology...
