Definition – students laboratory Science Lab for Pupils, „Schülerlabor“ Possibility to explore modern science • well equipped laboratories (high tech instruments) • young people explore science independently • regular offers • http: //www. lernort-labor. de/Lab. Cards. php? tl=2 13
Theoretical background succes factors: some research data - pupils § success factors (Pawek 2009) - general factor: climate / quality of material / mentoring by tutors - contextual factors: link to the everyday’s life / authenticity § other important factor: - curricular links, in-school embedding C.
