PROJECT-BASED AND OTHER STUDENT-ACTIVATION STRATEGIES AND ISSUES IN SCIENCE EDUCATION XX.

Publication at Faculty of Education |
2023

Abstract

The PBE 2022 proceedings follows the, considerably long, line of books which have been shaping the landscape of student activation methods in Central Europe and beyond. In this year's proceedings, authors yet again targeted original project and inquiry-based topics, nevertheless, new issues emerged too. The idea of chemistry (science) escape room or field trips were inspected. Moreover, authors brought STEM topic to the mix, others focused on the phenomenon of open schooling.

It is obvious, the topics spread from original chemistry and biology foci as disciplines' integration brings the much needed context to sometimes too school-like topics.

The authors published in this proceedings used variety of research methods from both quantitative and qualitative areas. The contributions therefore offer some more inspiration how to grasp the effect of student-activation methods in education.

Hand in hand with the aforementioned development of other topics appearing in the proceedings are several papers which did not focus directly on the student activation methods but rather on the "other issues of science education". This trend will continue to be supported in the years to come as the impact of the PBE conference is steadily growing.
