International Exploratory Workshop for founding an Integrated Primary Science Education (IPSE) project at UNIBZ.
Faculty of Education – Free University of Bozen-Bolzano
Bressanone 27-29/6 2022
in collaboration with the department of Education and Humanities
of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
How do we create a unified approach to learning about nature in primary education? Can the humanities help us to integrate the natural sciences?
How do scholars working in the sciences, humanities, and education interpret this challenge?
How can the humanities help the natural sciences come together? What do these questions have to do with education in general and primary education in particular?
Objectives of the workshop:
- To integrate natural sciences (physics, biology, chemistry, earth sciences, astronomy) with the help of the humanities (philosophy, linguistics, narratology, cognitive science) for establishing an integrated primary science education (IPSE) project at the Faculty of Education of UNIBZ.
- To create an educational environment for future kindergarten and primary school teachers and in-service teachers that supports them in unifying their activities, practically and philosophically.
We do not think that we will be able to arrive at a finished design for IPSE in this workshop. Rather, we would like to map out, in an open discussion, the challenges and possible answers.
