During this ten-day event you will have the opportunity to explore socio-scientific issues (SSI) in the education of maths and science teachers, such as:

  • Reasoning, argumentation and critical thinking using media reports as a starting point
  • Decision-making based on confronting scientific positions
  • Designing a SSI lesson II with focus on appropriate methods to promote creativity, critical thinking and reasoning
  • Scaffolding, supporting students by providing a framework how to deal with SSI
  • SSI and assessment of student learning
