This module aims to give student-teachers the opportunity to reflect on assessing student learning in SSI-based lessons. They are presented with an example of an environmental SSI and engage in the inquiry process, experiencing both learning and assessment firsthand. The…
In this module, future teachers learn to support students in addressing complex environmental SSIs using a scaffolding framework. The topic “forest and climate change” serves as an example, connecting with the life experiences of both future teachers and their students….
Module 10 helps future math teachers design SSI lessons, building on content from earlier modules. It introduces active teaching methods, adapted for math and interdisciplinary contexts. Teachers will learn how to redesign existing lessons or create new ones that incorporate…
In this module, future teachers learn how to design a lesson around the plastic dilemma, combining research on socio-scientific issues (SSI) and education for sustainable development (ESD). It incorporates inquiry-based learning and presents current research on plastic waste, aiming to…
In this module, future teachers explore how beliefs, narratives, cultural backgrounds, and identities influence students’ engagement with environmental SSIs and impact their own teaching. Through case studies and a questionnaire, they will examine beliefs and design lessons that account for…
In this module, future math and science teachers are introduced to Environmental Socio-Scientific Issues (EnvSSI) linked to educational goals. It prepares them to identify points in the curricula where EnvSSI can be addressed and navigate curriculum requirements when integrating these…
In this module, future teachers explore mobility as an socio-scientific issue, drawing on their own experiences to identify its‘ social, political, and ethical aspects. By the end, they will know how to incorporate local mobility issues into SSI-based learning activities….
The module introduces future teachers to decision-making on environmental issues, particularly in the context of food. It addresses their values and attitudes as active citizens and educators. Concrete ideas are provided for incorporating these topics into science and math teaching….
This module introduces future teachers to the role of (big) data in environmental socio-scientific issues. Initial teacher education students examine dataset structures and explore how different visualizations can tell varied stories. Lesson examples help them plan to use big data…
This module focuses on linking the socio-scientific issues that initial teacher education students study, such as epidemic modeling, to data and statistics. Through this module, the pre-service teachers will develop competences in planning and carrying out experiments, surveys or interviews,…
