The aim of the module is to provide participants with fundamental knowledge of biology didactics and pedagogy, enabling them to navigate key curricular frameworks and cross-curricular topics, and integrate them effectively into teaching. Participants will learn how to formulate explicit learning objectives and select optimal teaching methods and organisational forms of instruction in natural history and biology.
