Seminar: The role of representations in science education
Being able to read and create a variety of multimodal representations (including verbal language, gestures, and a range of visual representations) is essential to participate in discourses involving science – for science specialists as well as for citizenship.
In the occasion of a visit of Dr. Bahadir Namdar, from Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, Turkey, the REDE project group invites to an open seminar on the role of representations in science education.
The presenters are
- Bahadir Namdar from Recep Tayyip Erdogan University
- Magdalena Kersting, Rolf Steier and Kenneth Silseth from the Department of Physics and Department of Education.
- A group of presentations from the REDE project (Representation and participation in school science) at the Department of Teacher Education and School Research (ILS).
The seminar is open to all and we ask that you sign up by May 23rd (web form).
