Description

The siMINT project investigates from the perspectives of biology education, mathematics education, and computer science education how simulations can be used to promote 21st-century skills for understanding complex STEM topics. At the core of the project is cross-disciplinary STEM research on modeling competence, risk literacy, and dealing with uncertainty using simulations. Together with STEM stakeholders at universities, the economy, and school practice, evidence-based teaching-and-learning strategies, and standards for the promotion of modeling competence, risk literacy, and dealing with uncertainty are developed.
