TP3 - Physics in the context of energy education
Working Group
Working Group Didactics and History of Physics
Aims of the sub-project
- Topics of sustainable and efficient energy utilisation are to be anchored in physics lessons on the basis of educational standards.
- Context-orientated teaching concepts and materials are developed and tested in the project; the focus is on the transition from primary school to lower secondary level ("from subject teaching to subject teaching") and the integration of economic issues into physics lessons in grades 9 and 10.
- The use of project-based teaching formats and extracurricular learning locations is intended to promote research-based and "constructive" learning of physics.
- By involving teams of teachers, practical expertise is to be integrated into the project work, while at the same time a further training effect is aimed for the teachers involved. Accompanying research will be carried out with the aim of summative and formative evaluation of the project.

Activities of the sub-project
On 20 October 2009, André Bloemen and Dr Tobias Schlömer represented the Department of Vocational and Business Education as speakers at the autumn academy of the BBS Friedenstraße in Wilhelmshaven. The autumn academy represents an impulse-giving milestone in the establishment of a sustainable production facility at the BBS Wilhelmshaven, Friedenstraße. The establishment of this production facility is being funded by the German Federal Environmental Foundation. The school is thus gearing its learning processes to the needs of a sustainability-oriented working world in order to promote sustainable school development together with companies in the region.
André Bloemen presents guidelines for sustainability-oriented teaching based on his own research results under the title "Sustainable energy supply and energy utilisation as a topic for teaching at the BBS". This also incorporates basic ideas and concepts from the current project "Education for sustainable energy supply and use".
Dr Tobias Schlömer's presentation is entitled "Vocational training for sustainable management using the example of an industrial company". He will provide insights into the results of his research activities by providing examples of the relevance and design of company learning processes in connection with company strategies for ecologically and socially responsible management.
The following week, on Thursday 29 October 2009, the Jade-Weser Energy Days will take place at the Wilhelmshaven site of the Wilhelmshaven/Oldenburg/Elsfleth University of Applied Sciences. The main theme of this conference is: Climate protection for the future of a region. The aim is to draw public attention to climate protection, which is not only of global importance, but also has a significant impact on the economy in the Jade-Weser region. In the afternoon programme of the conference, Dr Tobias Schlömer will present energy-related courses offered by the University of Oldenburg. Participation in this conference is free of charge. Registrations are still possible until 20 October. Further information can be found at: www.energietage-jade-weser.de.

SP7 - Didactics of subject teaching sub-project
Working group
Energy education in science lessons
News: Painting competition
The sub-project "Basic energy education" of the working group "Sachunterricht" has organised a painting competition for primary school children (1st-4th grade) with the following theme.
"Energies of the future. Where will our energy come from in the future?"
Aims of the sub-project
- Curriculum development and material creation for preschools and primary schools
Based on the children's prior knowledge and interests, learning units and (experimental) materials are to be developed to support preschool and primary school pupils in developing their own concept of energy and to familiarise them with ways of harnessing and using renewable energies.
- Development of modules for teacher training
Training modules with associated handouts are to be developed for the further training of teachers and educators in order to equip them with sufficient expertise and methodological-didactic knowledge. In addition, an internet platform is to be created to facilitate the exchange of information and material. - Implementation in teacher training
The topic of "energy education" is to be included in the module plans for the subject of general education so that students can deal with this important topic at an early stage and acquire the necessary factual and didactic knowledge.
