Description

Enacting Climate Change Education through representing scientists’ practice. This research will work with scientists and teachers across three continents to translate contemporary climate-related research practices into a novel curriculum approach that emphasises deep science knowledge, skills, and values. It responds to a pressing national need to prepare students for a 21st century marked by complex work futures and major socio-scientific challenges related to climate change. The project will develop students’ engagement with and competencies in the sciences for fast changing work futures, and decision making and action regarding environmental challenges. It contributes to an enhanced scientific workforce and a citizenry capable of responding to complex environment-related challenges. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3901 - Curriculum and Pedagogy. Lead: Prof Russell Tytler
