How can science education help address today’s sustainability challenges? This MasterClass presents the main research lines and educational experiences developed by our group, and related initiatives focused on sustainability, emotions and science education. Through examples involving primary school pupils and pre-service teachers, the session will explore how ecological literacy, biodiversity perception, emotions, misconceptions and sustainability competences influence science learning and environmental awareness. The MasterClass will also showcase innovative educational experiences based on active and experiential methodologies, including school gardens, gamified geology, biodiversity activities and inquiry-based science workshops. The session aims to reflect on the need for a more meaningful, emotionally connected and transformative science education capable of linking scientific knowledge with responsible action and sustainability.
Speakers: Prof. Isaac Corbacho-Cuello & Prof. Jesús Sánchez-Martín. University of Extremadura.
