How culturally responsive teaching supports STEM education.

Med pH-papper, provrör och mobil­kameror undersöker eleverna på Kunskaps­skolan i Enköping naturen med vetenskapliga metoder. Ny forskning visar tydliga fördelar med biologiundervisning i fält.

Att använda flera språkliga resurser i NO-undervisningen skapar ökade möjligheter för lärande. Genom att eleverna även får använda sig av sitt förstaspråk i klassrummet kan de enklare relatera till tidigare erfarenheter och kunskaper.

Arbetet med den nya systematiska översikten Lek och utforskande i förskolans undervisning inom kunskapsområdet naturvetenskap har inletts. Lek är grunden för utveckling och lärande i förskolan. Men även utforskande, undersökande och experimenterande aktiviteter är viktiga delar av förskolans didaktik.

Månutforskarna ”Regolit Rut” och ”The Beaver” tar Primaskolans elever Meja Edeholt, Alva Kvarnström, Thea Gripenrot och Saga Lindblom från årskurs 8 hela vägen till Sydkorea i oktober.
