      Learning science outdoors can enhance the understanding of theoretical scientific content taught in the classroom. However, learners are rarely afforded the opportunity to go outdoors to learn chemistry. This study investigates how problem-based learning outdoors can facilitate the understanding of basic chemistry in teacher education. A teaching unit was designed according to which student teachers ...
    • Using the Schoolyard as a Setting for Learning Chemistry: A Sociocultural Analysis of Pre-service Teachers’ Talk about Redox Chemistry 

      Jegstad, Kirsti Marie; Höper, Jan; Remmen, Kari Beate (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-11)
      The schoolyard as a setting for teaching and learning is rarely the focus of chemistry education. Therefore, a chemistry unit combining activities in the classroom and the schoolyard was designed to support pre-service teachers’ (PSTs) learning of redox chemistry. This study was conducted to investigate the PSTs’ talk about redox chemistry as they identified, photographed, and explained phenomena ...
