Investigating students’ awareness of their own and others’ deviations from controlled science experiments
Despite an emphasis on experimentation in science curricula worldwide as part of efforts to improve scientific literacy, students encounter challenges, especially with designing unconfounded experiments as part of the control-of-variables strategy (CVS). Becoming aware of experimental design errors is a potential starting point for learners to enhance their experimental skills. Few studies investigated whether learners can accurately assess exper…
How to scale beyond the niche? Fitting versus transforming strategies of grassroots initiatives and their impact on sustainability transitions
The question of how to increase the impact of grassroots initiatives via their scaling from niche to regime level is a key issue in transition studies. We add to the debate by analysing how organisational identities of energy cooperatives influence their scaling strategies. For this purpose, we use an explorative, qualitative research approach, conducted in collaboration with a federation of cooperatives in Germany. We identify several different …
Pre-service teachers and climate change education
Prior research suggests that pre-service teachers may avoid providing climate change education (CCE) due to believed controversies, lack of competences, or resource constraints. However, quantitative studies disentangling the interplay between a broad spectrum of such beliefs, possible influences on beliefs as well as their connection to teaching intention remain scarce. Building on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, we therefore conducted an Austr…
Only green time, and not screen time, predicts connectedness to nature among urban middle school students
To build a more sustainable society, one key objective of Education for Sustainable Development is the promotion of pro‐environmental behaviour. Prior research has shown that a connection to nature is positively related to pro‐environmental behaviour and that time spent in nature is crucial to developing this connection. However, recent findings reveal that students increasingly spend less time outside and more time online. This study examined th…
Kognitive Prozesse beim Schreiben naturwissenschaftlicher Versuchsprotokolle
Das Erstellen von Versuchsprotokollen im Rahmen des Experimentierens bietet das Potential, in den naturwissenschaftlichen Fächern fachliches mit sprachlichem Lernen zu verknüpfen. Studien zeigen jedoch, dass das Schreiben von Versuchsprotokollen mit großen Herausforderungen für Schüler*innen verbunden ist, insbesondere für jene mit Deutsch als Zweitsprache. Ein Schlüssel zum Verständnis dieser Herausforderungen können die während des Schreibens a…
Linking students’ interest in nature to their self-reported pro-environmental behavior and nature activities – A cross-sectional study in grade 5 to 9
To promote pro-environmental behavior (PEB), it is crucial to understand the drivers behind it. Studies indicate that, in addition to environmental attitudes and nature activities, interest in nature drives people to engage in PEB. However, the relationship between interest in nature and PEB is still greatly understudied among adolescents even though the foundations for PEB seem to be laid during childhood. Therefore, our study focuses specifical…
Understanding Austrian middle school students’ connectedness with nature
Fostering pro-environmental behavior to achieve a sustainable society is one goal of Education for Sustainable Development worldwide. Connectedness with nature positively correlates with pro-environmental behavior and therefore needs to be studied in detail. In this mixed-method study, applying the “Inclusion of Nature in Self” (INS)-scale, we investigated 1) how closely preadolescents from urban middle schools (n = 651, 6th grade) are connected …
What does nature mean to you? A photo analysis of urban middle school students’ perceptions of nature
In the present study, we explore the perceptions of urban middle school students' representations of nature using participatory photography and their nature connectedness.Preadolescents (N = 108, 6th grade, age 11-13) were asked to take a photo of what nature is to them and write a short description of what is in the image.In a mixed method study applying the 'Inclusion of Nature in Self' (INS) scale, we investigated ( 1) what are middle school s…

International collaborative follow-up investigation of graduating high school students’ understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry
Understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry (NOSI), as opposed to engaging students in inquiry learning experiences, are included in science education reform documents around the world. However, little is known about what students have learned about NOSI during their pre-college school years. The purpose of this large-scale follow-up international project (i.e. 32 countries and regions, spanning six continents and including 3917 students f…
