Description

Amid global uncertainties, climate change education is essential to empower students. In this workshop, we introduce Tutorials in Climate Change, designed to enhance conceptual understanding in the context of climate change through practical problem-solving and addressing prevalent misconceptions. Additionally, the tutorials incorporate concept cartoons and an anchored instruction approach and focus on students’ reasoning. The target group are upper secondary students and future teachers. Results from an evaluation with future teachers indicate a substantial positive development in their conceptual understanding. In the workshop, tutorials and background information will be provided and implementation scenarios will be addressed.
