Profile
The Center for Biology Education (ZDB) represents modern biology teaching research. This is based on current biological developments and modern educational concepts, such as Scientific Literacy. One research focus of the Center for Biology Education (ZDB) is the development of innovative teaching materials. These are evaluated on quantitative and qualitative research methods in order to understand their effects and to ensure effective use in biology classes. Further important goals of our research are the analysis of the conditions that must be established druing biology lessons to impart a thorough understanding of biological diversity in expertise and promote the purposes of the KMK educational standards. Here the central task of our group is the description of empirically grounded models of competence. The research center of the Center for Biology Education (ZDB) is experimentation and empirical examination of approaches to promote skills while experimenting in biology classes.
