[ecrea] Environment and Health in Science Education

Mon May 03 10:59:38 GMT 2010


Zurich, 18 - 21 August 2010
 
Environment and Health in Science Education,
 
Environment and health have always been important learning areas in science education and are gradually becoming more important. Not only are they socially highly relevant regarding sustainable development discourses, but also and particularly they are close to students’ interests and needs and can help to open up science to individually relevant questions, especially also for girls.
When it comes to these issues, it is not so much the question of measuring immediate effects of elaborated teaching procedures, but much more the interest to understand how learners interact with complex issues, what concept images of the environment and health they have, how they deal with controversial perspectives in these fields.
The conference will offer keynote lectures by researchers who are prominent in the field, as well as a broad variety of workshops, where both advanced and young researchers present their research studies for in-depth discussions.
