Our Common Future: eKidZ – teach your parents well Grundlagen und Konzept einer Forschungs-Bildungs-Kooperation zur transdisziplinären Erforschung von Multiplikationseffekten im Bereich Klimawandel

Abstract

Das Projekt Our Common Future: eKidZ-teach your parents well knüpft an das Klimabildungsprojekt k.i.d.Z.21 an und erforscht intergenerationelle Lernprozesse und Multiplikationseff ekte von der jüngeren zur älteren Generation. In einem moderat konstruktivistischen Forschungs-und Lernsetting entwickeln Schüler/innen eigene Fragestellungen, wobei Wissenschaftler/innen einen Dialog fördern und als Lernbegleiter/innen im Forschungsprozess zur Seite stehen. Die Forschungs-Bildungs-Kooperation ermöglicht es durch die transdisziplinäre Herangehensweise, Schüler/innen an der Wissensproduktion zu beteiligen und als Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren von Wissen, Einstellungen und Verhaltensweisen, einen Transformationsprozess der Gesellschaft Richtung Nachhaltigkeit zu beschleunigen.

Quality Child–Parent Relationships and Their Impact on Intergenerational Learning and Multiplier Effects in Climate Change Education. Are We Bridging the Knowledge–Action Gap?

“…Figure 2 gives an overview on the research design of the two closely connected CCE projects: "k.i.d.Z.21" and "eKidZ". Both projects, "k.i.d.Z.21" and "eKidZ", are based on theories related to CCE and ESD, e.g., science-education cooperation, transdisciplinarity, moderate constructivism and research-based learning settings [12,37]. In "k.i.d.Z.21", students gain more knowledge and higher attitudes in Both projects, "k.i.d.Z.21" and "eKidZ", are based on theories related to CCE and ESD, e.g., science-education cooperation, transdisciplinarity, moderate constructivism and research-based learning settings [12,37].…”

In "k.i.d.Z.21", students gain more knowledge and higher attitudes in various educational modules, but climate-friendly actions are not yet measurable.…”

“…In "eKidZ", students and scientists complete research together-students generate their own research questions and methods, and scientists foster a dialogue for developing a common questionnaire on the topics of climate-related knowledge, attitudes, actions and child-parent relationship [37]. To preserve the authenticity of the students' scientific work, the questionnaire was subjected as much as necessary to a further scientific selection procedure.…”

“…This study not only contributes to prior research on the knowledge-action gap [4,[14][15][16]] by focusing on the child-parent relationship, but also leads to authentic results by deeply involving young people, as the intensive participation of students in the research process itself is a characteristic of transdisciplinary Climate Change Education. Whereas initial insights into the research setting of this project "Our Common Future: 'eKidZ'-Teach Your Parents Well" (2016/2017-2018/2019) have been published [37], this paper aims to investigate the findings and results of students' research regarding intergenerational learning processes and multiplier effects from the younger to the older generation.…”
