Research cooperation between schools and universities

Game-based learning is a popular approach to offer the opportunity to support student engagement and motivation (Aprea & Ifenthaler, 2021). The Theory of Evolution (ToE) is complex and is a teaching challenge to understand biodiversity. It is therefore essential to strengthen joint knowledge in biology and mathematics with greater collaboration between statistical and biological educators to make real progress in teaching the ToE. Game-based pre-service teacher training will improve students' understanding of the concept of threshold: "chance".

CONAPEDE, a transnational research on outdoor education : To problematize, through an analysis of controversies in various disciplinary fields, how actors on the ground apprehend the concept of 'nature' in outdoor pedagogies, in order to identify its political, social, and philosophical implications ; To co-construct evolving interdisciplinary pedagogical and didactic approaches on the concept of 'nature' for multiple school levels; And to train teachers by supporting them in the experimentation and evaluation of new pedagogical and didactic approaches.

Through this project, we intend to produce an impact on two different levels: the first level concerns the impact on the professional development of teachers and the consequent impact on increasing the quality of school contexts; the second level concerns the impact on pedagogical research.
