Description

The study aims to develop interdisciplinary teaching units focusing on environmental issues like sea level rise and ocean acidification to promote critical, creative, and caring thinking skills among 9th and 10th-grade German students. The development of the teaching units is inspired by the socio-scientific issues (SSI) framework and Lipman’s model on thinking. Teaching materials are developed using hypothetical learning trajectories (HLT). The effectiveness of the courses is evaluated by comparing actual learning trajectories with HLTs, as well as analyzing students’ answers to pre-post questionnaires, including open-ended questions. The study offers insights into effectively integrating environmental education with promoting thinking skills.
