Project description:

Main objective of education is content knowledge. Therefore, values education often does not take place in schools. Specifically, in science education, the transfer of knowledge is intrinsically tied to value questions, value attitudes and value decisions. Aim of the project is to integrate value questions more often into Stem education in elementary and secondary schools. Thus, teachers’ further education should be adapted and developed in this direction.
