Description
This study presents the development and teacher evaluation of interactive simulations designed to introduce archaeometric methods in secondary science education. The simulations aim to make contemporary analytical methods accessible through interactive, inquiry-oriented exploration. An evaluation was conducted with 23 secondary education teachers during a professional development workshop. Participants engaged with the simulations and completed a purpose-designed questionnaire examining pedagogical value, inquiry support, usability, and implementation readiness. Results indicate highly positive teacher evaluations, particularly regarding pedagogical value and inquiry-oriented engagement, while implementation feasibility was also rated positively.
