?Wie ein Forscher sein' Das didaktische Konzept für eine Bildungsinitiative in einem Forschungsunternehmen und dessen Umsetzung

摘要

"Forscherwelt" is an educational initiative set up by Henkel to introduce children up to the age of 10 into the fascinating world of science. The name roughly means "Research World". In a laboratory especially designed for their needs children have the opportunity to become young researchers and to get hands-on experience in research related to adhesives, detergents and cosmetics. They can connect their questions directly to real experts while at the same time gaining an authentic insight into the adult world of work. The educational concept of "Forscherwelt" is linked to the idea of scientific literacy. The concept includes the following elements: Scientific methods, the ability to identify questions and to draw evidence based conclusions, analytical skills and creativity. These elements build the frame of the course programs (five days 9 am to 4 pm) as demonstrated in the article by the example of the "Adhesive" course.
