EP4: ForschenLernen: Scientific Reasoning and Argumentation

ForschenLernen: Scientific Reasoning and Argumentation

The BMBF-funded joint research project ForschenLernen investigates the effects of inquiry-based learning and aims to examine activities that have been implemented within the “quality for teaching” funding program. This subproject, located in Munich, focuses on the effects of inquiry-based learning on students’ development of Scientific Reasoning and Argumentation (SRA) skills as a crucial part of scientific or research competence. The overarching research questions of the project are:

  • Which practice- and research-oriented activities foster students’ skills related to Scientific Reasoning and Argumentation?
  • To what extent are the effects of these activities domain-specific or domain-general across various domains?
  • What are the effects of activities related to the didactic qualification of the teaching staff on students’ skills in Scientific Reasoning and Argumentation?

 

  • Principal Investigators: Fischer, M.; Fischer, F.; Mieg, H.; Deicke, W.
  • Funded by Federal Ministry of Education and Research
