Topics
播音员：本研究探讨了教育者如何教育学生和彼此之间发生范式转变的可能性，研究位于科学与宗教的交叉点，旨在挖掘对跨学科和终身学习的好奇心和热情，Erdogan博士的研究汇集了科学教育者和宗教教育者，让他们互相学习，旨在打破科学和宗教研究之间的界限，了解当学科界限消失时会发生什么，研究探讨了论证如何帮助学生弥合学科间的差距，从而获得更深刻的理解。 Sibel Erdogan博士：论证是运用理由和证据来论证主张的过程，科学和宗教教育中都存在论证，两者既有相似之处也有不同之处，本项目旨在探索如何利用论证在科学和宗教教育之间架起桥梁，许多日常问题需要复杂的解决方法，仅仅在学科内部教学不足以培养学生解决现实世界问题的能力，需要跨学科的理解，招募愿意跨学科合作的教育者并不容易，研究人员与30名教师（15名宗教教育教师和15名科学教师）一起开展研讨会，并根据教师的专业知识和经验来调整研究，跨学科合作需要开放的心态和倾听不同观点的意愿，科学教师更注重事实信息和准确性，而宗教教育教师更注重证据的相对性，本项目旨在重新平衡科学和宗教教育之间的动态关系，宗教教育教师对科学的关注程度超出了预期，这促使她思考在科学教育中加入多种叙事的重要性，宗教教育教师对论证的理解比科学教师更深入，该研究成功地促进了科学教师和宗教教育教师之间的建设性对话，并收集了关于教师观点和学生推理的数据，该研究揭示了教师和学生在科学和宗教教育中的观点和推理方式，她对科学和教育一直很感兴趣，并试图通过研究改进科学教育，解决科学课程中未解答的大问题，教育应该基于对学习者和教师的了解，而不是仅仅基于意见，教育应该激发学生对学习的热情，让他们参与关于重大问题的讨论，让学校在互联网时代保持其相关性，理解知识是如何构建的，以及不同形式的知识如何运作，对于解决社会冲突至关重要。 Tavia Gilbert：跨学科教学能够让教师和学生获得更多的学习和成长，打破学科界限，探索问题，一起解决问题，汇集各种想法、实践和可能性，使我们的教育能够帮助我们成为我们天生就应该成为的具有扩张性、高度创造性的存在。

Shownotes Transcript

If you’ve been a long-time listener to the Stories of Impact podcast, you’ll expect by now to be surprised by the kinds of studies Templeton World Charity Foundation invests in. TWCF-funded projects are not only ground-breaking — they’re often “rule-breaking,” asking challenging questions often left untouched by other funders. Today’s story is about one of those cutting-edge scientific studies, one that explores the possibility of a paradigm shift in how educators not only educate students, but each other. The study we hear about in this episode is the kind of research project that Sir John Templeton himself would have enthusiastically embraced, one that sits at the intersection of science and religion, and is designed to tap into curiosity and passion for interdisciplinary and lifelong learning.

Meet Dr. Sibel Erduran), a professor of Science Education at the University of Oxford, and the leader of a research project guided by the TWCF mission to explore Big Questions in the Classroom. Her research brings together science educators and religious educators who learn with and from each other. It’s a project that aims to break down divides between the space of scientific and religious study, in order to discover what happens when the silos disappear. Dr. Erduran’s study explores how argumentation can help students bridge disciplinary divides to achieve deep understanding.
