Exploring Teacher Candidates' Sensemaking of Sustainable Energy Education
Transitioning to sustainable energy sources (SE) is considered the fundamental strategy to mitigate the ongoing climate crisis. To achieve this transition, intergovernmental organizations like the International Renewable Energy Agency have prioritized “educating the educators” which aims to empower teachers with tools and knowledge to engage students in the energy transition. Although the body of research on SE has examined Teacher Candidates' (T…
Uncertainty in the Context of School and Teacher Education in Educational Science Literature—A Systematic Review
Although uncertainty has gained increasing attention in education, to date, existing research on the topic has not been collated. Therefore, this systematic review sought to understand which range of phenomena, terms, and theoretical conceptualizations of uncertainty are found in the education research literature in the context of school and teacher education. A systematic search of publications (2005–2020) in the two most widely used publication…
Secondary School Students’ Perceptions of Subjects in Integrated STEM Teaching
This study examines students’ perceptions of the subjects geography, mathematics, and computer science in integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) lessons. Although the importance of an integrated approach in STEM education is emphasized, researchers are not clear about whether students perceive connections between the subjects on the one hand and subject-specific working methods and content in integrated lessons on the…

Secondary school students’ (mis-)conceptions of urban adaptation strategies for climate change
The aim of this study is to provide an insight of students’ (mis-)conceptions of urban adaptation strategies for climate change. For this purpose, drawings and texts were produced by secondary school students (n = 87) aged 16-18 years from four secondary schools in Hamburg, Germany. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The results show that the majority of students cannot distinguish between climate change adaptation and mit…

Geschlechterdarstellungen in Geographie-Schulbüchern
Geschlechterstereotype Darstellungen und eine Unterrepräsentanz von weiblichen Figuren sind in verschiedenen Medien nach wie vor die Realität. Diese medial vermittelte Geschlechterungerechtigkeit kann Auswirkungen auf die Identitäts- und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung junger Rezipierender haben, die ihre Annahmen von Geschlechterrollen und eigene Zukunftsvorstellungen an die der medialen Sozialisationsinstanzen angleichen. Schulbücher als politisch u…
A Balancing Act
Learner-centered instruction fosters 21st-century skills and must be implemented in geography classrooms. In this South African case study, most teachers predominantly implemented teacher-centered instruction. The analysis of the results established a moderate but highly significant relationship between geography teachers’ years of teaching and their implementation of teacher-centered instruction and a weak significant relation in the implementat…
Die Darstellung von (Un-)Sicherheiten zum Thema Klimawandel in Schulbuchtexten für den Geografieunterricht
Werden gesicherte Erkenntnisse sowie Unsicherheiten zum Thema Klimawandel in Schulbüchern adäquat kommuniziert und bilden sie den aktuellen Diskurs ab? Im Rahmen der Studie werden Klimawandelkapitel in Schulbüchern analysiert und Vorschläge zu Gestaltung und Struktur von Schulbüchern entwickelt.Uncertainties are transparently presented and communicated in the Assessment Reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This study…
Digitalization and geography education – A curriculum analysis
Digitalization presents many opportunities but also challenges for society. This also entails new tasks for the field of education. This article discusses how geography teaching can contribute to these opportunities and challenges from a subject- and education-specific perspective. To this end, we analyse aspects of subject-specific digitalization and terms associated with digitalization in curricular and framework requirements (n = 57 documents)…
Teachers’ Noticing Skills during Geography Instruction
In supporting their students’ learning in the classroom, noticing is an important professional skill for teachers, encompassing perceiving and interpreting relevant incidents, as well as ad hoc decision-making. While noticing is an established research topic in other domains, it remains largely neglected in relation to the geography teacher. The paper compares the noticing skills of geography teachers at three different stages of their profession…
Issues in improving geography and earth science teacher education
Earth Science and Geography teacher preparation has developed to some degree along different lines, despite sharing many of the same issues, especially with regard to challenges in teacher education. The conference “International Perspectives on Geography and Earth Science Teacher Education 2016” wanted to bring together educators from both sciences from around the world together to move the debate about these challenges forward. From the researc…
