Description
Perspective-taking is considered as a key competency for socio-scientific reasoning. Out-of-school education has multifaceted potentials for science education because of its authenti¬ci¬ty and cross-disciplinary nature. In a comparative study it is examined to what extent and in which way the visit of an out-of-school-education site during a course with socio-scientific issues influences the socio-scientific reasoning of German high-school students. During the course students provided written statements and had semi-structured interviews both of which were qualitatively analyzed. The findings indicate that such a field-trip can foster the ability to perspective-taking.
