I would like to study science teachers use of (real) plants in schools
for pupils at an age of 10 to 16 years.
Therefore I prepared a questionnaire consisting of one page with 7 questions.
Currently I am searching for international researchers working in the field of
science didactics, who would like to join the study by sending the questionnaire
to schools in their country.
The evaluation of results from your country can be done by me or by your group.
yours,
Ricarda Koopmann
Ricarda Koopmann Hello, I would like join your study from Turkey but I need more information about your study and the questions you have prepared. Are the questions open ended or not ? And what is the sample size you want to reach ?
By implication, you are looking for collaborators and unfortunately that is not my research interest
Dear colleagues,
I have added the idea of the study and the (proposal) for the questionnaire as files. Please send your remarks, comments, links to similar studies, questions or willingness of collaboration to my emal: rkpm(et) web.de.
Actually, I am not experienced with questionnaires, but I think this is a first way
of getting information from teachers in order to start a programme.
Well, Samy Azer, Examples for experiments with pupils at an age of 16 years old are:
microscopy of algae found in a pond or river and identification of different algae species/classes in relation to water quality; plant nutrition: investigation of rhizobia at legume roots , starting with a drawing from a root colonized to microscopy; movement of chloroplasts in bryophyte cells at different light angle;
fungal hyphae / plant disease localization;
isolation of chlorophylle and other natural compounds, either in biology or chemistry classes; studying surface physics in physics classes by using plant leaves and a magnifying lense. (Lotus effect) or Taraxacum seeds (sticky hairs) (Bionic principles of technical products).
