Description

This symposium is proposed by the GIREP Thematic Group “Physics Preparation of Teachers in Grades K-6” and consists of a discussion of two approaches to teacher education and professional development in elementary school grades, as well as secondary school grades. The first contribution illustrates how imaginative understanding of forces of nature and their interactions provides a pathway to complexity in natural systems. The last two contributions describe research-based efforts to prepare teachers to support explanations of complex phenomena associated with climate change.
